As a fitness LLC in DC, your tax structure will depend on your election. By default, a single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity, and a multi-member LLC is treated as a partnership. In either case, profits are passed through to the owners and taxed at the individual level. This connects to our resource on the Alaska LLC filing process, which covers the details. You can also elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp, which may offer tax advantages depending on your specific circumstances. DC also levies an Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax on LLCs.
