Starting a fashion LLC in the District of Columbia is an exciting venture. However, understanding your tax obligations is crucial for long-term success. This guide outlines the key federal and DC-specific taxes, deductions, and deadlines you'll face in 2026. Let Lovie handle the complexities while you focus on your designs.
Fashion LLCs in DC can choose to be taxed as pass-through entities (sole proprietorship or partnership) or as corporations (S-Corp or C-Corp). Pass-through taxation means profits are taxed at the individual owner's rate. Electing S-Corp status can potentially reduce self-employment taxes. C-Corps are subject to corporate income tax and shareholder-level tax on dividends.
