Real estate LLCs in DC can be taxed as pass-through entities (sole proprietorship, partnership) or as corporations (S-Corp or C-Corp). Pass-through taxation means profits are taxed at the individual owner's rate, while corporate taxation involves taxes at the corporate level and again when profits are distributed to owners. This connects to our resource on the Alaska LLC filing process, which covers the details. The Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax also applies to LLCs operating in DC.
