As a beauty LLC in Colorado, your tax structure depends on elections made with the IRS. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship, while a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. You can also elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp. S-Corp election can potentially reduce self-employment taxes. For more details, see our guide on forming an LLC in Colorado. C-Corps face corporate income tax but allow for more complex financial structuring. Colorado has a flat income tax of 4.4% which simplifies state income tax calculations.
