Single-member LLC

LLC tax filing · Englewood, Florida
Which tax return does your LLC need?
Forming an LLC does not select one universal tax return. The filing path depends on ownership, business activity, and any effective tax elections. These are common federal income-tax paths for domestic LLCs.
Multi-member LLC
A domestic LLC with two or more owners generally follows partnership treatment and files Form 1065 with Schedule K-1s for owners, unless an exception or corporate election applies.
LLC taxed as an S corporation
An eligible LLC with an effective S corporation election generally files Form 1120-S and issues Schedule K-1s. Owner compensation, payroll, and the owner’s return need coordination.
LLC taxed as a C corporation
An LLC taxed as a C corporation generally files Form 1120. Payments and distributions to owners require separate review; C corporation income does not pass through like partnership or S corporation income.
Review the IRS single-member LLC guidance and IRS LLC filing guidance. Employment taxes, foreign ownership, special elections, and state requirements can add obligations beyond this overview.
Florida annual reports and tax returns
Is a Sunbiz annual report the same as an LLC tax return?
No. A Florida Sunbiz annual report updates or confirms the state’s business records. It does not replace federal or state tax returns. Use the Florida LLC annual report checklist to keep that obligation separate from your tax calendar.

Common questions
Before you take the next step.
Does every LLC need a separate business tax return?
No. A domestic single-member LLC without a corporate election generally reports income-tax activity on its owner’s return. Multi-member LLCs generally follow partnership treatment, while LLCs with effective corporate elections follow their elected filing path. Employment taxes, foreign ownership, and state rules may create additional obligations.
Does filing a Sunbiz annual report take care of my LLC taxes?
No. The Florida annual report updates or confirms the state’s business records. It does not replace federal or state tax returns. Track the annual report and applicable tax filings as separate obligations.
How much does a business tax return cost?
Pricing depends on entity type, states, ownership, bookkeeping condition, transaction complexity, prior filings, and the schedules or coordination required. SetRight reviews the facts before confirming scope and fee.
Is bookkeeping included with the business return?
Routine tax-preparation adjustments may be addressed within the written engagement, but bookkeeping reconstruction or cleanup is not automatically included. Material cleanup is separately scoped.
Can you prepare both the business and owner returns?
Yes, when included in the engagement. Coordinating the entity and owner returns can reduce gaps involving Schedule K-1 reporting, estimates, and owner-level tax items.
Can you file an extension for the business?
SetRight can prepare an extension when authorized and engaged in time. An extension generally extends the filing deadline, not the payment deadline.
Can you help with an unfiled business return?
Yes. We first identify the missing years, entity status, available books, notices, and related filings, then provide the appropriate scope.
Do you guarantee a refund or tax savings?
No. Business tax results depend on the facts, records, tax law, elections, timing, and prior activity. SetRight does not guarantee a particular result.
