Tax Structure Overview

As a single-member LLC in Connecticut, your business income is typically treated as pass-through income. This means the profits are taxed at your individual income tax rate, avoiding double taxation. However, you'll also be subject to self-employment taxes. Understanding the interplay between your LLC income, Social Security benefits, and other retirement income is key to effective tax planning.
