LLC Taxes

Do Not Pay More In LLC Taxes, Tax Preparation, & Filing Fees Than You Have To

LLC Taxes refer to the tax obligations of a Limited Liability Company (LLC). The tax treatment of an LLC can vary depending on how it is structured and whether it is a single-member LLC or a multi-member LLC. Each tax classification has its own advantages and disadvantages.

A single-member LLC is considered a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes. On the other hand, a multi-member LLC is treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The LLC itself does not pay taxes. Instead, the profits and losses are passed through to the individual members. Each member receives a Schedule K-1, which reports their share of the LLC’s income or loss. The members then report this information on their personal tax returns. Alternatively, an LLC can choose to be taxed as a corporation by filing Form 8832 or as an S corporation by filing Form 2553 with the IRS.              
Given the complexity of tax laws and regulations, it’s highly recommended to seek the guidance of a tax professional or accountant who specializes in small business taxes. Our experienced LLC Taxes team can help you navigate the tax requirements and ensure that you file your taxes correctly and minimize LLC Taxes liability legally.

LLC Taxes Benefits

LLC offers several tax advantages. They are treated as a pass-through entity and have flexibility in tax classification. By default, a single-member LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship, while a multi-member LLC is taxed as a partnership. However, LLCs can choose to be taxed as an S Corporation or a C Corporation, depending on their needs.
One benefit of electing S Corporation taxation is the potential reduction in self-employment tax liability. LLC owners can pay themselves a reasonable salary and take the remaining profits as distributions, which are not subject to self-employment taxes.
Additionally, LLCs can deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses, such as rent, utilities, salaries, and advertising costs. These deductions help lower the taxable income of the LLC and reduce the overall tax liability.
LLCs also provide limited liability protection to their owners. This means that the personal assets of the owners are generally protected from the debts and liabilities of the business. While not directly related to taxes, this is an important advantage of forming an LLC.

LLC Taxes Filing Process

Our experienced LLC Taxes professionals are here to assist. Specific requirements for your LLC Taxes filing may vary depending on your location and circumstances. Here is a general overview:
1. Select classification, which can be a disregarded entity, partnership, S corporation, or C corporation and obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) if have employees or multiple members.
2. Choose either a calendar year (January 1 to December 31) or a fiscal year (any 12-month period) as the tax year.
3. File annual reports or pay franchise taxes to comply with states requirements.
4. Prepare and file federal, state, and local taxes as required and maintain records of income, expenses, and other financial transactions.
5. If your LLC expects to owe $1,000 or more in taxes for the year, then you may need to make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS.

LLC Taxes
Disregarded Entity

To simplify, when it comes to income tax, a single-member LLC is seen as part of the owner and not a separate entity, unless it chooses to be treated as a corporation by filing Form 8832. However, for employment tax and specific excise taxes, a single-member LLC is still seen as a distinct entity.
The deadline for filing LLC Taxes for a single-member LLC (treated as a sole proprietorship) is typically due on April 15th, unless an extension is filed. However, if the single-member LLC elects to be taxed as a corporation, the tax return deadline would depend on the chosen tax classification. For example, if it elects to be taxed as an S corporation, the tax return deadline would be March 15th.

LLC Taxes
Partnership

By default, when it comes to LLC Taxes, companies with multiple owners are automatically taxed as partnerships.
Form 1065, which is the U.S. Return of Partnership Income, is used to report the partnership's income, deductions, gains, losses, and other important details. Each partner in the LLC will also receive a Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), which shows their share of the partnership's income, deductions, and credits. Partners will use this information to report their individual tax liability on their personal tax returns. Deadline for filing LLC Taxes as a partnership is usually March 15th.

LLC Taxes
S Corporation

LLC must complete and file Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation, with the IRS. This form notifies the IRS that your LLC wants to be treated as an S Corporation for tax purposes. Make sure all shareholders sign the form. The deadline for filing Form 2553 is generally no later than two months and 15 days after the beginning of the tax year the election is to take effect. Some states require additional filings or notifications to recognize the S Corporation status.
Once your LLC is classified as an S Corporation, you must comply with ongoing requirements, such as filing annual tax returns (Form 1120S) typically by March 15th of each year and providing Schedule K-1 to each shareholder.

LLC Taxes
Corporation

LLC must file Form 8832 no later than 75 days from the date you want the election to take effect. It is important to note that once the election is made, it generally cannot be changed for five years without IRS permission. Regarding tax filing, if your LLC has elected to be taxed as a corporation, you will need to file Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return. The deadline for filing this form is generally the 15th day of the 4th month following the end of the corporation's tax year. For example, if your tax year ends on December 31, the deadline would be April 15.

Domestic And Specific Foreign LLC

A Domestic LLC refers to a limited liability company that is formed and operates within the jurisdiction of a particular country. In the United States, for example, a Domestic LLC is one that is formed and operates within a specific state.
On the other hand, a Specific Foreign LLC refers to a limited liability company that is formed in one country but operates in another country. This means that the LLC is registered and established in a foreign jurisdiction but conducts business activities in a specific country outside of its home jurisdiction.
Both Domestic and Specific Foreign LLCs provide limited liability protection to their owners, meaning that the owners' personal assets are generally protected from the company's liabilities. However, the specific regulations and requirements for forming and operating these types of LLCs can vary depending on the jurisdiction in which they are established.

Form 5472

Form 5472 is a U.S. tax form used by certain foreign-owned corporations engaged in a trade or business within the United States. The purpose of this form is to report information about the corporation's transactions with related parties, including foreign owners, related entities, and other foreign corporations. It helps the IRS monitor and ensure compliance with U.S. tax laws.
