Limited Liability Company LLC :
The limited liability company (LLC) is a business entity that offers limited liability protection and pass-through taxation. An LLC can be managed by either the members or by managers.
The LLC allows for pass-through taxation, its income is not taxed at the entity level; however, a tax return for the LLC must be completed and filed. Income and loss of the LLC is passed through to the owner(s) (members). The members must report the income or loss on their personal tax returns.
Just like the corporations, the LLC legally exists as a separate entity from its members and typically can not be held personally responsible for the debts and liabilities of the LLC.
