As a tutor operating an LLC in Delaware in 2026, understanding your tax obligations is crucial for financial health and compliance.

For a single-member Tutor LLC in Delaware, the default tax structure is as a 'disregarded entity.' This means your business profits and losses are reported on your personal income tax return (Form 1040, Schedule C). You'll also be subject to self-employment taxes. Alternatively, you can elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp, which may offer tax advantages depending on your specific circumstances. Delaware does not tax pass-through income, but you are subject to the annual franchise tax.
