An unincorporated business franchise tax is a business tax levied on businesses that are not incorporated, such as sole proprietorship, partnerships, and limited liability companies.
As of 2021, the tax rate is 8.25%, and there is a minimum tax requirement of $250 if your gross income is $1 million or less.
An unincorporated business in D.C. with a gross income from real estate rental that is over $12,000 must file a D-30 Unincorporated Business Franchise Tax Return. Note: A D-30 form must be filed even if the business does not have a net income.
