In Florida, an LLC with two or more members is typically taxed as a partnership by default, meaning profits and losses are passed through to the members' individual income tax returns. Alternatively, an LLC can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp. The best choice for your co-founder LLC depends on your specific circumstances, including income levels, desired level of tax planning, and long-term business goals. This connects to our resource on LLC registration in Florida, which covers the details.
