By default, a single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes, meaning profits and losses are reported on your personal income tax return (Form 1040) using Schedule C. A multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership, filing Form 1065 and issuing Schedule K-1s to each member. Alternatively, an LLC can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp for potential tax advantages. For more details, see our guide on forming an LLC in California. Choosing the right structure impacts your overall tax liability and should be considered carefully with your CPA. Lovie can help you model these scenarios.
