Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi cmallow17,

 

That is a good question.

 

The first step you should take would be to seek an in-person consultation with a local tax professional in choosing the right entity type.

 

If you’re the single member of a limited liability company (LLC), you’ll typically file your business tax information on Schedule C and report the profit or loss from your business on Form 1040.

 

If you elect to be taxed as a corporation by filing IRS Form 8832, the default is to be treated as a C-Corporation. In this case, the business reports all income and deductions on Form 1120 each year and pays the corresponding income tax.

 

You can choose to be treated as an S-Corporation by filing IRS Form 2553. This passes-through the business' income to the owners on a Schedule K-1.

 

For more details on LLC filing, please check out this article.

Please seek professional advice prior to making a decision on choosing entities for tax purposes.
