The IRS does not recognize it unless you ask them to by making an election to be an S-corp or C-corp or partnership(if more than one member).A single member LLC may file as a sole proprietorship and pay both halves of Social Security(subject to income limit of 106,800) and both halves of Medicare totaling 12.4% in addition to paying regular income tax on the earnings.If you elect to be taxed as an S-corp, you may pay yourself a salary from this business, and take in the rest of the income as "ordinary income(not subject to FICA like Self employment income is)" which means it has no "preferences(capital gain treatment".Yes if you elect to file as an S-corp, you will have to file an 1120s before your personal 1040.
