As a freelancer operating an LLC in Alabama, you have pass-through taxation. This means the LLC itself doesn't pay income taxes; instead, profits 'pass through' to your personal income, where they are taxed at your individual income tax rate. You'll also be responsible for self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare). We cover this in depth in our resource on setting up your Alabama LLC. Consider an S-Corp election for potential tax savings, but consult a professional.
