How to file taxes for an LLC in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts LLCs in general report taxes based on federal tax classification. Single-member LLCs are taxed as a sole proprietorship and report on Schedule C (Form 1040). Multi-member LLCs are taxed as a partnership and must report on Form 1065 federally, and each member will receive a Schedule K-1.

At the state level, Massachusetts requires LLCs to file a Form 3 (Partnership Return) if treated as a partnership. Single-member LLCs are reported on the owner's Massachusetts personal income tax return (Form 1).

If your LLC elects to be taxed as a corporation, it must file Form 355 or Form 355S, depending on its federal election. All Massachusetts LLCs must also pay an annual LLC fee and may potentially be taxed by the state on other issues, such as sales or employer withholding tax if applicable.
