As a videographer operating as a single-member LLC in DC, your business profits are typically taxed as personal income. This is known as pass-through taxation. You'll report your business income and expenses on Schedule C of your Form 1040. However, DC also imposes an Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax. Proper record-keeping and understanding deductible expenses are crucial. Lovie can automate much of this, helping you categorize expenses and prepare for tax season.
