As a fashion LLC in Colorado, your business isn't taxed separately. Instead, profits and losses are 'passed through' to your personal income. This means you'll report business income on your individual tax return (Form 1040) and pay self-employment taxes. We cover this in depth in our resource on starting a business in Colorado. Colorado also has its own state income tax and sales tax considerations. Choosing the right tax structure with Lovie ensures you optimize your tax efficiency.
