Keep reading as we outline the tax forms you&#8217;ll need depending on your LLC type to ensure you file business taxes accurately, confidently, and on time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-llc-tax-filing-work\">How does LLC tax filing work?<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/LLC-owner-doing-taxes-1.jpg\" alt=\"business owner doing LLC tax return \" class=\"wp-image-8057\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A Limited Liability Company, or LLC, is a popular business designation, but taxes can get confusing. That&#8217;s because the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) doesn&#8217;t recognize LLCs for federal tax purposes. Instead, an LLC is a state designation. So, if you wonder, \u201cDoes an LLC file a tax return?\u201d the answer is: it depends. LLCs have options when it comes to taxation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LLCs can choose how they want the business to be taxed. Depending on the number of members and other factors, you could elect the sole proprietorship, partnership, C Corporation (C Corp), or S Corporation (S Corp) tax classification for your LLC, each of which will have a specific tax form to file and LLC tax return deadline, which we&#8217;ll cover in more detail next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/how-an-llc-is-taxed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how LLC tax filing works<\/a> and the benefits of an LLC to see which classification is best for your business.

In summary, LLC tax returns vary based on whether you file as a sole proprietorship, partnership, C Corporation, or S Corporation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sole proprietorship: <\/strong>By default, single-member LLCs are taxed as sole proprietorships. On tax forms, this type of LLC may be referred to as a &#8220;disregarded business entity.&#8221; LLCs taxed as a sole proprietorship will report business income and expenses on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/schedule-c\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule C<\/a> as part of your individual tax return (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/new-form-1040\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 1040<\/a>) \u2013 not a specific small business tax return. The due date is April 15.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Partnership: <\/strong>Multi-member LLCs are taxed as a partnership by default. Similarly to a sole proprietorship, LLC partnership tax items pass through the entity to the members. Tax filing for a partnership is slightly more involved. To start, you&#8217;ll\u00a0file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-1065\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRS Form 1065<\/a> on behalf of the LLC, a small business tax return specific to partnerships. Then, you&#8217;ll have to provide each member with a\u00a0Schedule K-1\u00a0showing the member&#8217;s share of the LLC&#8217;s\u00a0profits and losses\u00a0as shown on Form 1065. The due date for Form 1065 and Schedule K-1 is March 15. Finally, LLC members will report their share of the profits or losses on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/schedule-e-tax-form\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule E<\/a> (Part II) of their personal tax returns.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>C Corporation: <\/strong>If you choose to file as a C Corp, you must first file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-8832\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 8832<\/a>, Entity Classification Election, with the IRS. You&#8217;ll then file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-1120\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Form 1120<\/strong><\/a> annually. LLCs taxed as C Corporations are taxed twice (double taxation), which means the LLC pays tax on its income, and shareholders pay tax on the income when it is distributed as a dividend. (Learn more about LLCs vs C Corps). The LLC tax return deadline for C Corps is April 15.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S Corporation: <\/strong>To make an S Corp election, you must first file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-2553\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRS Form 2553<\/a> and then file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/form-1120s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Form 1120-S<\/a> annually. S Corps avoid double taxation because, like partnerships, an S Corp\u2019s income passes through to its owners via Schedule K-1. (Here&#8217;s more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-owners\/llc-vs-scorp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LLCs vs S Corps<\/a>).

For example, LLC members taxed as partnerships or sole proprietorships must also pay self-employment taxes using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/schedule-se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule SE<\/a>.
