An LLC is almost the same as an S corp. LLC's have to be published each year with a fee. An S corp is where your profits are forwarded under your personal income tax filings. Beware! Both LLC's and S corps are included in all other investments, deductions and exemptions. This means, if you don't have kids and/or a mortgage, your write offs will become lower and your tax base will grow higher. Your annual pay is based on an IRS scale. Any profits thereafter is taxes as a dividend.
If you choose an LLC, your stuck with it according to the IRS for 5 years. Then you can opt out. But you can desolve it at any time which tells the IRS the company is no longer in business. Then you start over with another company under any category you wish. Don't do the LLC or S corp unless you know you will have right-offs. A seasoned tax preparer will help you best. Most have graphs and place you in a category that fits you best. People are protected under S corps and LLC's as long as they do not do anything negligent. So you couples out there go to a boring movie and get some little tax deductables running around. THEN you get an S corp or LLC. E&O insurance pretects the sole proprietor.
