This guide outlines key tax considerations for your photography LLC in 2026, helping you navigate federal and Delaware-specific regulations. Lovie can help streamline the formation process and manage ongoing compliance, ensuring you focus on your craft, not paperwork.

Tax Structure Overview

An LLC offers pass-through taxation, meaning profits are taxed at the individual level rather than the corporate level. This avoids double taxation. You can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp for potential self-employment tax savings if your business grows. Delaware also levies a franchise tax on LLCs, regardless of profitability.
