Advice: multi-member LLC partnership, corporate status, or S corp
Hey Forum! My partner @Paul Dante Pronio and I are forming our first joint LLC and have a quick question about EIN filing. We got to the page that says:
Due to the number of members in your LLC, you are considered a Multi-Member Limited Liability Company (LLC) as the type of structure applying for an EIN.
Since you are a multi-member LLC, we must initially classify you as a partnership. If you do not wish to accept the default classification of partnership, you can:
- File Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election) to elect corporate status, or
- File Form 2553 (Election by a Small Business Corporation) to elect S corporation status.
If you need to change your type of structure, we recommend that you do so now, otherwise you will have to start over and re-enter your information. Additional help may be found by reviewing all types of organizations and structures before making your selection
Do you recommend that we stick with the LLC or select corporate/S corporation status?
Thank you so much!!!!
