H 4 Visa Company Ownership
Summary
H-4 visa holders can own a company but cannot work or earn income from it without an Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Profits can accumulate but cannot be distributed until the EAD is obtained. Using an ITIN for tax purposes is acceptable, but it should not imply unauthorized work. H-1B visa holders can own a company but must remain passive and not engage in management or work activities. Compliance with U.S. Tax laws, including filing Form 5472 for foreign disregarded entities, is essential. Consult an immigration attorney for specific guidance on visa and tax regulations.Full Conversation

You can own a part of the company on an H-* visa, but you cannot work for it or earn income without an EAD. Since you don’t have an EAD, you should avoid any work-related activities. Are you considering applying for an EAD in the future?

To own the company, you would need to follow these general steps:
- Draft a purchase agreement detailing the terms of the sale.
- Transfer ownership through proper documentation (e.g., share certificates).
- Update relevant registrations and inform authorities.
Keep in mind that you cannot work or earn income from the company without an EAD.
Do you have any other questions about this process?

now when yty say income i will not work what about company profits
Case Rating: *
When we refer to "income," it includes any profits or distributions from the company. Without an EAD, you cannot receive any form of income, which includes company profits, dividends, or other financial benefits from the business.
Is there anything else you need to know about owning the company?

Ok thats good point that menas lets say a compant make like 50K profit and 25k is really for me ,. io donct take t t9ll i gte EAD ,,, once i het ead i can take all arrears?? i file tax now by the away using ITIN
Case Rating: *
You can accumulate company profits while on an H-* visa, but you cannot receive any distribution of these profits until you obtain your EAD. Once you have your EAD, you can then take all arrears. Filing taxes with an ITIN is standard procedure for those without a Social Security Number.
Would you like any further clarification on this matter?

If i wone this now she will use my iTIN to set up payment link and revciev payments wikll taht be flagged ? it sgode tso company not to me buyt asking
Case Rating: *
Setting up a payment link using your ITIN for a company owned by a foreign national shouldn't be flagged as long as the financial activities and tax filings are in compliance with U.S. regulations. However, you must ensure that the ITIN is used solely for tax purposes and not to imply any unauthorized work.
Would you like to know more about setting up payment links or any specific legal considerations related to this process?

Case Rating: *
Your husband can be a registered agent while on an H-1B visa as it's mostly about receiving legal documents for the company rather than performing work that would require authorization. However, it's always a good idea to consult an immigration attorney to make sure there are no conflicts with his H-1B status.
