As a designer operating as a single-member LLC in Florida, your business income is typically taxed as personal income through a pass-through system. This means the LLC itself doesn't pay income tax; instead, profits 'pass through' to you, and you report them on your individual tax return (Form 1040). You'll also be subject to self-employment tax (Social Security and Medicare). Multi-member LLCs can elect to be taxed as a partnership or S-corp, which can impact tax liabilities. Florida boasts no state income tax, a significant advantage.
