Tax Structure Overview

A single-member LLC (SMLLC) in Delaware is typically treated as a 'disregarded entity' for federal income tax purposes. This means your business income and expenses are reported on your personal income tax return (Form 1040, Schedule C). Delaware does not tax the income of pass-through entities. You may elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-Corp for potential tax advantages.
