Ohio LLC Tax Return Preparation in Upper Arlington, OH
Your Upper Arlington LLC's tax filing depends entirely on how it's taxed — and many owners don't realize they have a choice. By default, single-member LLCs file Schedule C on the owner's personal return; multi-member LLCs file Form 1065 partnership returns and issue K-1s. But any LLC can elect S-corp or C-corp taxation by filing Form 2553 or 8832. We file all variants and advise on which makes sense for your business.

My LLC made no money this year. Do I still need to file?+
Yes for multi-member LLCs (Form 1065 is required even with zero activity). For single-member LLCs with no income, Schedule C is not required if you had no gross receipts. Ohio CAT only applies if gross receipts exceed $150,000.
Should I elect S-corp status for my LLC?+
S-corp election can save self-employment tax once your LLC clears about $60,000 in net profit, but it requires running payroll for yourself (with reasonable compensation), filing a separate 1120-S return, and additional administrative work. We model both scenarios using your actual numbers before recommending.
What is Ohio CAT and does my LLC have to pay it?+
Ohio Commercial Activity Tax applies to businesses with taxable gross receipts over $150,000/year. Quarterly filing is required if gross receipts exceed $1 million. The tax rate is 0.26% on receipts above $1 million. Most small LLCs only owe the $150 minimum annual fee, if anything.
