What kind of LLC?  If it is a Single Member LLC that is NOT a S corp it is a disregarded entity and you file it on Schedule C in your personal tax return as self employment.  

You will pay Self Employment tax (Scheduled SE) on a Net Profit of $400 or more on Schedule C in addition to regular income tax on it.   You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit (If it is greater than $400).  The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare.  So you get social security credit for it when you retire.

A Guide to Paying Quarterly Taxes - TurboTax Tax Tips & Videos

 

You must make quarterly estimated tax payments for the current tax year if both of the following apply:

- 1. You expect to owe at least $1,000 in tax for the current tax year, after subtracting your withholding and credits.

 

- 2. You expect your withholding and credits to be less than the smaller of:

    90% of the tax to be shown on your current year’s tax return, or

  100% of the tax shown on your prior year’s tax return. (Your prior year tax return must cover all 12 months).

Yes it’s a single member LLC.  I was hoping to try and find a good amount of deductions through the LLC, which would in turn, help lower or offset the tax due. The 1099 amount will be about $50k for rest of this year.  Any help/advice is appreciated.

Assuming your SMLLC is not an S Corp,  Here is some IRS reading material……

You pay Self Employment tax on $400 or more of net profit from self-employment in addition to any regular income tax.  You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400.  The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare.  So you get social security credit for it when you retire.
