Dumb question but.  If I am a self contractor  llc is that a for profit or nonprofit. Or none of those?? ?

  Believe me, dear.

You have to jump through WAY more hoops to start a nonprofit.

For profit.  The LLC means you have "Limited Liability", which is for your financial protection.  Here's the definition from Investopedia:

A limited liability company (LLC) is a business structure in the United States whereby the owners are not personally liable for the company's debts or liabilities. Limited liability companies are hybrid entities that combine the characteristics of a corporation with those of a partnership or sole proprietorship.

That is for profit

profit........................................

Obviously it’s for profit. A nonprofit is only something like a charity 

there’s nothing wrong with being “for profit”, but you just need to pay your taxes like everybody else

You're right. Dumb question.
