My friend is going to have an LLC business but I am getting conflicting information on her getting the business S or C Incorporated. We are trying to understand this because she is going to be the only one owning the business. We are operating in SC and I need additional information regarding this matter. I dont fully understan the concept of S or C incorporated. Is she considered sole proprietor with filing business under LLC alone?

First of all the LLCs and Corporations 2 different entities. the differnt between the corporation and S Corporation is how your taxes are filed. with corp you file your taxes corporation files their own taxes, the s corp you file your taxes with your corporation. it designed for the smaller corporation under 99 shareholders (all need to be us citizens)

if she Files as a single member LLC (if her state allows it) then she needs to elect to be treated as a seperate entity form 8832 so the IRS does not recognize her as a sole prop.

Then she can also elect the s status on her LLC. (This should only be done based on the advise of her tax person)!!

here is a link to more information on the LLC http://www.myllc.com/form-llc.aspx

corporation are great if you plan on raising capital, by issuing stock. Otherwise I'm a fan of the LLC because of its flexibility with filings taxes and ease to operate.

Good Luck with the new business!! you should have your friend sign up to this community if more questions come up.

LLC, S corp, and C corp, are all separate and distinct things. If you are forming an LLC you don't need to worry about S corp and C corp because you are not an S corp or a C corp. Also if you friend is the only owner in an LLC, your friends business would be considered a single partner LLC.
