Sell on Amazon FBA / FBM under an anonymous LLC. Keep your seller identity off state records. Handle multi-state sales tax cleanly.
By Shafwan Ahmed, Operations & Fulfillment Lead, Anonymousllc.co
Wyoming anonymous LLC taxed as a disregarded entity for sellers under ~$60k/yr; S-corp election above that. The LLC opens the Amazon Seller Central account with EIN, the business bank account, and any wholesale supplier accounts. Foreign qualification is rarely needed — Amazon FBA inventory in Amazon warehouses generally does not create state-level nexus under most state interpretations.
Amazon sellers are routinely targeted by competitors filing fake IP complaints, hijackers, and chargeback-fraud rings. State Secretary of State searches surface the seller's full name. An anonymous LLC means a competitor running a state search on your store name does not find your home address or full identity.
Wyoming is the standard for Amazon sellers. No state income tax. Strong banking acceptance for Amazon FBA businesses with consistent revenue. Wyoming RA address replaces your home address on filings. Annual cost $60.
| State | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wyoming (recommended) | $397 | Best balance of cost, anonymity, banking acceptance. |
| New Mexico | $347 | Cheapest. No annual report. Banking is harder. |
| Delaware | $407 | Strong for outside-investor setups. $300/yr franchise tax. |
Yes — and most professional sellers do. Use the LLC's legal name and EIN at account creation; Amazon accepts this routinely.
Mostly no. Marketplace facilitator laws (in effect in 47 states) make Amazon responsible for sales tax collection. Your own nexus only triggers in states where you have an office, employees, or direct fulfillment.
Before. Transferring an existing Amazon account to a new LLC entity is administratively painful — Amazon may require a full re-verification cycle.
Yes — one LLC can operate multiple Amazon storefronts under separate brand registries. The LLC is the legal seller; brands are marketing.
Non-US sellers can form a US LLC, get an EIN, and sell on Amazon US without a US visit. Bank account approval is the main hurdle; Mercury and Relay accept non-resident LLCs.
