We all love to operate under limited liability and all the more
better if we could get some relief from the tax guys.
Well, there is no immediate respite from the tax chaps, so don't
try running from those guys.
They have three options. -They can file returns either as a
corporation, a partnership or sole proprietorship. Certain
llc'sare put under the same category and taxed alike.
These LLCs are the ones that have been formed under a State or
Federal statute or under the statute of a federally recognized
Indian tribe wherein they have been described either as a
corporation, body corporate or body politic or a joint stock
association. The same is true of businesses owned by state,
foreign governments or entities described in section 1.892.2-T.
Any Association formed under Regulations section 301.7701-3 is
also seen as a corporation by the federal government as are
insurance companies.
Form 8832 has to be filled if it is not a corporation and elect
to conduct business either as a corporation or a partnership. at
least 2 persons have to be present to constitute a partnership
or a corporation. Similarly, a business entity with a single
member can choose to be classified either as an association
taxable as a corporation.
the default rules come into play If an LLC does not File Form
8832. if a corporation has only two members, it has to file
taxes as a partnership and an LLc likewise has to file an
application for sole proprietary fit has only one member.
so, it is better to take help from those friendly tax
consultants and get to know the rules better and this helps us a
lot.
