Navigating taxes as a freelance writer, copywriter, or author in Connecticut can be complex. This guide clarifies federal and Connecticut-specific tax obligations for your Writer LLC in 2026, helping you minimize liabilities and maximize deductions. Using Lovie’s AI-powered formation and compliance platform can further simplify these processes, ensuring accuracy and timely filings.
As a single-member LLC, your Writer LLC will typically be taxed as a sole proprietorship, meaning profits are passed through to your personal income and taxed at individual rates. You'll pay self-employment taxes (Social Security and Medicare) on your profits. Alternatively, you can elect to have your LLC taxed as an S-corp, which may reduce your self-employment tax burden, but adds complexity. Connecticut also levies a business entity tax on LLCs, regardless of profitability. Lovie can help you evaluate the best tax structure for your specific situation and automate ongoing compliance.
