Research scope

All 51 U.S. jurisdictions (50 states + DC), domestic LLC entity-level and pass-through tax burden. state_income_tax is freshly researched and cited for this matrix. entity_level_franchise_tax and annual_report_or_license_tax are transcluded from domestic-llc-annual-renewal-rules-by-state rather than independently re-researched, per this rig's one-fact-one-canonical-statement rule — that matrix is the canonical source for those two figures.

How to read this matrix

Each row is a U.S. state. Typed unknowns mark a field that could not be confirmed under the methodology at /about/methodology/. A transcluded cell that traces to a pending citation in the source matrix is propagated here accurately, not a new gap introduced by this matrix.

Sources

Primary-source citations per row live in the matrix's sources.json companion. The full source taxonomy lives at /about/source-registry/.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as "tax burden" on this matrix?

Three fields: whether the state taxes an LLC member's pass-through share of income under its personal income tax, whether the state imposes a separate entity-level franchise or privilege tax on the LLC itself, and the state's recurring annual report fee or license-tax-styled annual charge tied to keeping the LLC registered.

Which states have no personal income tax on LLC pass-through income?

8 of 51 jurisdictions: Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. One state (Washington) is recorded as partial rather than a clean no or yes — see the row note for what specifically applies there. The remaining 42 tax pass-through income under their personal income tax.

Why are two of the three fields transcluded from another matrix instead of independently researched?

entity_level_franchise_tax and annual_report_or_license_tax are transcluded from /business-formation/domestic-llc-annual-renewal-rules-by-state/ rather than re-researched here, per this rig's one-fact-one-canonical-statement rule — the annual-renewal matrix is the canonical source for those two figures, and this matrix reuses its cited values rather than risking a second, potentially-divergent citation for the same fact.

What does it mean when a franchise-tax or annual-report cell traces to a pending citation?

6 states (Hawaii, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, West Virginia, Wyoming) carry a typed-unknown citation chain on those two transcluded fields in the source matrix as of this matrix's research pass. That gap is propagated here accurately, not newly introduced — it will resolve automatically once the source matrix's own citation work closes it.

Are these figures current?

Each row's state_income_tax cell is freshly cited to a primary source and on-disk snapshot; the two transcluded cells inherit their citation from the source matrix. Three states (Mississippi, Oklahoma, Utah) carry a flagged secondary-citation gap on state_income_tax that does not block publication. Confirm against the linked source before relying on a figure — states revise tax law regularly.
