US address for non-American who founded US company but resides in Mexico

Question

I've already engaged an accounting firm and a lawyer to ask questions about this, but given the unique circumstances, I thought I will x-post this to HackerNews for an advice. If nothing else, to prepare me better for conversations with lawyers.The short version is that I co-founded a company in US. I lived there for a while, but have been spending 95% of my time outside of the US. Due to unique tax situation in Mexico, I am not obliged to pay local taxes. Therefore, I have chosen to continue paying taxes in the US.I want to stop renting an apartment in the US, which serves nothing more as the mailing address at the moment, and want to consider cheaper alternatives, e.g. virtual office or mail forwarding. If anyone has done this, do you know what are implications in terms of IRS, keeping my bank accounts, etc active in the US with this setup?

Are you a us citizen?If not, you are almost certainly breaking the law and if you have a visa or green card, are almost certainly out of status.Even if you are a US citizen, I suspect you are breaking Mexican law unless you have some sort of tech expat visa.

I am a US citizen, but have two separate businesses that use virtual business addresses provided by two small mailbox businesses in Oregon that have been painless for all addressing/mail needs. The key point is to make sure your businesses registered agents contact info works and that legal correspondence can get to you through them.

TLDR after talking with lawyers and an accountant is that in my case it does not matter. However, this is pretty unique to my VISA type (O1), so if you stumble upon this, do your own research.
