LLC Taxes: The
Different Ways to File
Single Member LLC: A single-member LLC is an LLC that has only one owner. These LLCs are considered disregarded entities for tax purposes, meaning that the income and expenses of the LLC are reported on the member's personal tax return. This means that the member will report the income and expenses of the LLC on their own tax return, rather than the LLC filing a separate tax return.
Multi Member LLC: A multi-member LLC is an LLC that has more than one owner. These LLCs are considered partnerships for tax purposes and file Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income, and provide Schedule K-1 to each member, which shows the member's share of the LLC's income, deductions, and credits. Each member will report their share of the LLC's income and expenses on their tax return.
Foreign Owned LLC: LLCs owned by foreign individuals or entities are considered foreign-owned LLCs for tax purposes. These LLCs will be subject to the same tax rules and regulations as domestic LLCs but may also have additional compliance requirements related to foreign ownership.
S Corporation: LLCs can also choose to be taxed as an S Corporation by filing Form 2553, Election by a Small Business Corporation. This option allows the LLC to be taxed as a separate entity and pass-through income, deductions, and credits to the members, similar to a partnership but also allows for certain tax benefits such as the ability to pay reasonable compensation to members who are also employees.
C Corporation: LLCs can also choose to be taxed as a C Corporation by filing Form 8832, Entity Classification Election. This option allows the LLC to be taxed as a separate entity and shareholders are taxed on dividends received.
