I don’t trigger any taxable event because I’m not a us citizen or resident and my company doesn’t have permanent establishment in the US.

So I owe 0 US taxes no matter how much money I move through the company.

I just need to report the balances at the end of the year

forming an LLC in New Mexico is 50 USD and registered agent is 30 USD per year. No more expenses.

Maybe you should do a bit of research.

US LLC is the cheapest option, around 30$ a year in maintenance and 50$ for formation.

For 2023 previous rules apply no tax on money remitted next year after earnings, for 2024 new rules apply in which all remitted money earned after 2024 is taxed.
