How it works
No call to book. Once you know which service you need, here is the whole path, from payment to your filed returns.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to what founders ask before they start.
The Diagnostic covers the five areas that tend to catch non-resident founders off guard: your Form 5472 obligation, your personal 1040-NR requirement, which W-8 or W-9 to give, sales tax nexus, and 1099-NEC obligations. You get a written answer for each one within 24 to 48 hours, starting with a short questionnaire we email you after payment. No call needed.
No. The full $149 you pay for the Diagnostic is credited toward any filing work, as long as you move forward within 30 days. It’s meant to help you decide with confidence, not to be an extra cost on top of everything else.
Everything runs asynchronously. You choose your service and pay online, we email you the forms and the list of documents we need, and you upload everything to your secure Canopy portal. Your filings are delivered in your personal space, with clear instructions for anything that needs your signature. There’s no call to schedule and no time zone to plan around, which matters since most of our clients don’t live in the US.
Yes. Your filings are prepared by Amel Ouchene, a tax preparer registered with the IRS (PTIN holder) to prepare federal returns for compensation. To be clear about what that covers: we prepare and file your returns, but we don’t formally represent clients before the IRS. More on that below.
Not necessarily. Late filings can still be made, and filing before the IRS contacts you, with a reasonable cause statement, gives you the best chance of avoiding or reducing penalties. The Diagnostic exists exactly for this. It tells you where you actually stand before you assume the worst.
That’s exactly what the free 2-minute check or the Diagnostic are for. You don’t need to already understand US tax law to start, just to answer some questions about your situation.
Not directly. Our IRS registration covers preparing your return, not formal representation, which generally requires a CPA, an enrolled agent or an attorney. If the IRS contacts you, we explain the notice, prepare your response for you to sign, and refer you to a representative if your case goes further.
Yes. Everything is handled asynchronously by design, from payment to the forms we email you, your uploads to the portal and the delivery in your personal space, so time zones don’t slow anything down.
No. Since FinCEN’s final rule of August 2026, companies formed in the US no longer file BOI reports, whoever owns them. Only companies formed abroad and registered to do business in a US state still report. If you were charged for a BOI filing, ask your provider what was actually filed.
The free check is a quick self-assessment to point you in the right direction, a starting compass rather than a guarantee. The paid Diagnostic is a full written analysis of all five areas, prepared by Amel personally, that you can rely on, and its cost is credited toward your filing if you go ahead within 30 days.
Just your LLC details and whatever documents you already have: prior filings, bank statements, or nothing at all if you’re just forming your LLC. After you pay, we email you the exact list for your situation.
Yes. Documents go through a secure Canopy client portal, never email attachments, and are only used for the work you’ve asked for.
That’s fine. Most of what’s in a bundle is also available à la carte, and if your situation is genuinely unusual, we’ll say so honestly and quote it separately.
No. Each service is one-time and scoped upfront. Only Melya Annual renews each year, and you can cancel it at any time.
