As a Prompt Engineer LLC in California, your tax structure depends on your elections. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a disregarded entity, and a multi-member LLC as a partnership. You can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp for potential tax advantages. S-Corp election can reduce self-employment tax, but it also introduces payroll requirements. For more details, see our guide on LLC registration in California. C-Corps face double taxation but might be suitable for attracting venture capital. Choosing the right structure impacts your tax burden significantly; use Lovie to model different scenarios.
