Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) have become a popular choice for entrepreneurs and small business owners due to their flexibility and liability protection. One of the key advantages of forming an LLC is the flexibility it offers regarding taxation.
By default, LLCs are pass-through entities, which means that the business’s profits and losses are reported on the owners’ personal tax returns. However, LLCs also have the option to change this default treatment through a tax election (aka the “check-the-box election”). No matter what election you make for tax purposes you will still legally be an LLC and no tax election would change that.
