Note: Our tax lesson is not as step-by-step as our other forming a Montana LLC lessons, due to the uniqueness and variation among businesses. Taxes are usually not as straightforward as forming an LLC in Montana, and therefore, the information below is an overview, and not a comprehensive guide.
You will likely need to hire a tax professional to make sure you meet all your Montana state and local tax obligations. We recommend using Thumbtack.

Our Recommendation
Calculating your tax obligations in Montana can be complicated and if done improperly can negatively impact your LLC.
We recommend that you get help from a tax professional once your LLC is formed. You can use Thumbtack or Yelp.
Hiring a tax professional will not only help you keep your Montana LLC in compliance, but it will also give you an advisor to go to for other business questions.
You’ll want someone who’s a good fit for your company, makes you feel comfortable, and is willing to answer all of your questions. It should be someone you like personally as well as professionally. We recommend talking with at least 2-3 people before making your final decision.
