I have a company in Brazil but live in the United States. Do I need to close the CNPJ or can I leave it idle?

Leaving it idle usually costs a lot. Even without revenue, the CNPJ has annual obligations. Ignoring this generates fines and, over time, makes the company inactive. If you're no longer going to use it, formally closing it ends everything and stops the problem from growing. If you plan to use it again, we keep it up to date. TF inter talks with you, understands your plan across the two countries, and recommends the best path. We handle the closure or the full maintenance, without you coming to Brazil.
