An LLC offers pass-through taxation, meaning your business profits are taxed at the individual level. As a virtual assistant, your LLC's income 'passes through' to your personal income tax return. While this simplifies tax filing, it's essential to understand both federal and Arkansas-specific tax implications. You'll pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) on your profits, as well as individual income tax at the federal and state levels. Arkansas also requires LLCs to file an annual report, ensuring compliance with state regulations.
