As a single-member LLC in DC, your photography business income is typically taxed as pass-through income, meaning it's reported on your personal income tax return. You'll also be subject to self-employment taxes. Multi-member LLCs can elect to be taxed as partnerships or S-Corps. This connects to our resource on the Alaska LLC filing process, which covers the details. Choosing the right structure impacts your tax liabilities, and Lovie can help you analyze the best option for your photography business.
