An LLC provides pass-through taxation, meaning your business profits are taxed at the individual level. While simpler than a corporation, it's vital to understand self-employment tax and potential S-Corp election benefits as your income grows. California also imposes an $800 annual franchise tax, regardless of profitability. Lovie helps you navigate these choices and automate filings.
