Tax Structure Overview

As a consulting LLC in Delaware, your tax structure depends on your election. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship, and a multi-member LLC 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. Delaware also levies a franchise tax on LLCs, with a minimum of $300 in 2026.
