As a consulting LLC in Arkansas, your tax structure depends on your election. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship, while a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. Both pass the income to the owners who pay individual income tax and self-employment tax. For a deeper dive, see our resource on forming an LLC in Arkansas. Electing to be taxed as an S-Corp can potentially reduce self-employment tax liability, but requires careful consideration. Arkansas also has state income tax, and franchise tax.
