A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is business structure that provides the limited liability protection features of a corporation and the tax efficiencies and operational flexibility of a partnership.Unlike shareholders in a corporation, LLCs are not taxed as a separate business entity. Instead, all profits and losses are "passed through" the business to each member of the LLC. LLC members report profits and losses on their personal federal tax returns, just like the owners of a partnership would.The owners of an LLC have no personal liability for the obligations of the LLC. An LLC is the entity of choice for a businesses seeking to flow through losses to its investors because an LLC offers complete liability protection to all its members.

This is a necessary document for setting up an LLC in many states. Create an Operating Agreement - an agreement among LLC members governing the LLC's business, and member's financial and managerial rights and duties.

Get an Employer Identification Number (EIN) - a number assigned by the IRS and used to identify taxpayers that are required to file various business tax returns. You can easily file for an EIN online if you have a social security number. If you do not have a social security number or if you live outsides of United States, ask a business lawyer to help you get one.File Statement of Information - includes fairly basic information about the LLC that you need to file with your state’s Secretary of State every 2 years. Think of it as a company census you must complete every 2 years.Search and Apply for Business Licenses and Permits - once your business is registered, you should look and apply for necessary licenses and permits you will need from the county and city where you will do business. Every business has their own business licenses and permits so either do a Google search of your business along with the words "permits and licenses" or talk to a business lawyer to guide you with this.If you have any other questions, talk to a business lawyer who will clarify and help you with all 6 above steps or answer any other question you may have about starting your business.I am answering from the perspective of a business lawyer who represents businesspersons and entrepreneurs with their new and existing businesses.

The answer will be yes or no depending on how your entity is recognized for tax purposes. An LLC is not a recognized entity by the IRS. By default, a single-member LLC is organized for tax purposes as a sole proprietorship and a partnership for tax purposes if there is more than one member. However, you can make an election to be taxed as a C Corporation (i.e., an LLC for legal purposes that is taxed as a C Corporation for tax purposes).You must complete and file form 966 to dissolve your LLC if you have elected to be a C Corporation or a Cooperative (Coop) for tax purposes. S Corporations and tax-exempt non-profits are exempt from filing this form (see here).If you are organized for tax purposes as an S Corporation you would file your taxes via form 1120S for the last time and check the box indicating that your return is a “Final Return.” Same is true for a Partnership, but with form 1065.On a state and local level, best practice is to check with your state and local agencies for requirements.For digestible information and tools for understanding how the tax landscape affects your business, visit Financial Telepathy

If your SMLLC is a sole proprietorship/disregarded entity, then you put your name in the name box and not the name of the LLC.  You check the box for individual/sole proprietor not LLC.If the SMLLC is an S or C corp then check the box for LLC and write in the appropriate classification.  In that case you would put the name of the LLC in the name box.

When you add a member to your previously single member LLC (which you can do structurally by amending your operating agreement and filing an amended report, if required, with your secretary of state), you cease to be a 'disregarded entity' under the applicable Treasury Regulations.Going forward, you will either be a (a) partnership, by default, and will have to file a partnership income tax return on Form 1065, or (b) a corporation, if you so elect, and will have to file a Form 1120 if you are a C corporation or Form 1120S if you elect to be taxed as an S corporation.There can be other tax issues as well, and these need to be addressed with a business CPA.
