An LLC provides pass-through taxation, meaning your business profits are taxed at the individual level. You'll avoid double taxation, but you're also responsible for self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare). Choosing the right tax structure (LLC taxed as S-Corp) can lead to significant savings. We cover this in depth in our resource on starting a business in Alabama. Lovie can help you determine the optimal structure and manage the complexities.
