As a single-member LLC in Alabama, your business income is typically taxed as personal income through pass-through taxation. This means the LLC itself doesn't pay income taxes; instead, the profits are reported on your personal income tax return (Form 1040). Multi-member LLCs can elect to be taxed as a partnership or corporation. We cover this in depth in our resource on setting up your Alabama LLC. Understanding this initial choice is crucial for tax planning.
