As an LLC in DC, your membership site's tax structure depends on your election. By default, you'll be taxed as a pass-through entity (sole proprietorship or partnership). You can also elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp. This connects to our resource on setting up your Alaska LLC, which covers the details. Pass-through taxation means profits are taxed at the individual level. S-Corp election can potentially reduce self-employment taxes, while C-Corp status involves corporate income tax plus individual taxation on dividends.
