Tax Structure Overview

As a Translator LLC in Delaware, your tax structure depends on your election. By default, a single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity, and a multi-member LLC is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. You can also elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp. Each structure has different tax implications. For a deeper dive, see our resource on the Delaware LLC filing process. Most translators benefit from the default pass-through taxation, avoiding double taxation. However, S-Corp election can reduce self-employment tax.
