As a software developer in Alabama operating as an LLC in 2026, understanding your tax obligations is crucial. This guide breaks down federal and Alabama-specific taxes, deductions, and common pitfalls to help you optimize your tax strategy. Lovie can automate much of this, ensuring compliance and maximizing savings.
An LLC provides pass-through taxation, meaning your business profits are taxed at the individual level. You'll pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) on your profits, as well as federal and Alabama income taxes. You may also elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-Corp to potentially reduce self-employment tax. Alabama also imposes a business privilege tax.
