Hi YadavAhik85!

Thank you for the question!

A single-owner LLC reports business income and expenses on a Schedule C in the Business Income (Schedule C) section on their individual tax return.

If there is more than one owner in an LLC, the LLC is treated like a partnership for tax purposes. A Form 1065, partnership return, needs to be filed for the LLC. A Schedule K-1 will be given to each owner showing that owner's portion of LLC income that needs to be reported on the owner's Form 1040. This can be reported in the Partnership or LLC Income and Deductions (Schedule K-1) section.

There is no minimum income threshold for being required to file a Schedule C or Schedule K-1.
