As a single-member LLC in Colorado, your business profits are typically taxed as personal income (pass-through taxation). This means you'll report your business income and expenses on your personal income tax return (Form 1040). You'll also need to pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) on your profits. For more details, see our guide on how to register an LLC in Colorado. Multi-member LLCs can elect to be taxed as a partnership or corporation. Choosing the right structure is vital, and Lovie can help you navigate these choices.
