This guide breaks down federal and DC-specific taxes, deductions, and deadlines to help you stay compliant and maximize your earnings.

An LLC provides pass-through taxation, meaning your business profits are taxed at the individual level. In DC, your LLC will be subject to the Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax in addition to federal taxes. You can elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-Corp to potentially reduce your self-employment tax burden. Lovie can help you evaluate the best tax structure for your software development business.
