Tax Structure Overview

Delaware LLCs offer pass-through taxation, meaning profits are taxed at the individual level. However, Delaware also levies a franchise tax on LLCs. Designers can elect to have their LLC taxed as an S-Corp for potential self-employment tax savings. Accurate record-keeping is essential for managing both federal and Delaware tax requirements.
