Creytix Tax is decision support for you and a licensed professional. It is not a CPA, enrolled agent, attorney, or tax-return preparer. Outputs are not legal, tax, or accounting advice. Do not file, elect, form, or pay from these pages without professional review.

Decision tree

Privacy, liability, tax, or succession — pick one axis

The same two answers always produce the same template. Trust-owns-LLC is a public-record and estate pattern, not a way to hide from taxes or creditors. A CPA and attorney still have to sign the graph.

professional review required · privacy-none

Form an operating LLC, then decide who owns it — person vs funded trust — with an attorney.

Suggested graph

Revocable or other counsel-designed trust as member → Wyoming or Delaware LLC (operating) → foreign qualify where you actually live and sell.

  • A sole proprietorship has no public formation record because it has no entity. That is not privacy; it is unlimited personal liability.
  • A manager-managed LLC in a low-disclosure formation state can put a trustee or manager name on the public filing instead of every beneficial owner.
  • That is a public-record tradeoff. It is not a way to hide from taxes, lawful creditors, or court process.

Not this

  • Anonymous offshore stacks sold as 'the IRS cannot see you'
  • Skipping foreign qualification in the state you operate
  • Calling a revocable trust a lawsuit shield

Review with: attorney, cpa. Same inputs always produce this template — not an LLM.
