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. Choosing the right structure impacts your tax liabilities, and Lovie can help you analyze the best option for your photography business.
