Tax Structure Overview

As a single-member LLC in Colorado, your web development business is typically treated as a pass-through entity for tax purposes. This means your business profits are passed through to your personal income and taxed at the individual level. You'll file Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Business) with your Form 1040. We cover this in depth in our resource on starting a business in Colorado. Alternatively, you can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp, which may offer tax advantages for established web development businesses. Colorado also requires a periodic report filing to maintain good standing, costing $10.
