🛡️ True Anonymous LLC Protection
New Mexico is one of the only US states that allows completely anonymous LLC registration. When RGB LOGIX files your Articles of Organization with the New Mexico Secretary of State, our registered agent's name and address appear on the public record.
Your personal name, home address, passport information, and contact details are completely omitted from the public portal. This provides bulletproof privacy protection against identity theft, spam solicitations, and competitor surveillance.
📄 Federal Tax Compliance for New Mexico LLCs
While New Mexico imposes $0 state reporting fees, foreign-owned single-member LLCs are classified as disregarded entities by the IRS. Therefore, you must fulfill annual federal disclosure obligations by filing IRS Form 5472 and Form 1120 by April 15th each year.
Failure to file Form 5472 carries an automatic $25,000 IRS statutory penalty. RGB LOGIX's Complete Business Pack includes preparation and submission of your first year's Form 5472, ensuring total compliance from day one.
Frequently Asked Questions About New Mexico LLCs
Is it really true that New Mexico has zero annual report fees?
Yes! Unlike Wyoming ($62/year), Delaware ($300/year), and Florida ($138.75/year), New Mexico does not require an annual report or franchise tax from LLCs. Once formed, you pay $0 to the state government indefinitely, making it the cheapest US company to maintain over time.
Can I open a US bank account and Stripe account with a New Mexico LLC?
Absolutely. Major US financial institutions and fintechs (including Wise Business, Payoneer, Stripe, and Mercury) fully recognize New Mexico LLCs. You receive certified Articles of Organization stamped by the New Mexico Secretary of State and an official IRS EIN confirmation letter.
What is the ongoing yearly cost to keep a New Mexico LLC active?
Because New Mexico state fees are $0, your only ongoing annual requirement is maintaining a registered agent with a New Mexico physical address ($99/year with RGB LOGIX, included free for the first year) and filing annual IRS Form 5472 informational tax disclosures.
