Tax Structure Overview

As a Tutor LLC in DC, your tax structure depends on your elections. By default, a single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity, with profits and losses reported on your personal income tax return (Form 1040). Multi-member LLCs are taxed as partnerships, filing Form 1065. You can also elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp, each with its own implications for self-employment tax and corporate tax rates. Understanding these options is crucial, and Lovie can help you determine the optimal structure for your tutoring business.
