C CORPORATION
A C corporation is the most common corporate structure. It is a legal entity separate from its owners, and may have an unlimited number of shareholders. A major advantage of any corporate form is that it limits the personal liability of the owners for claims against the corporation.
S CORPORATION
Depending on elections made by the LLC and the number of members, the IRS will treat an LLC as either a corporation, partnership, or as part of the LLC’s owner’s tax return (a “disregarded entity”). Specifically, a domestic LLC with at least two members is classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes unless it files Form 8832 and affirmatively elects to be treated as a corporation. For income tax purposes, an LLC with only one member is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner unless it files Form 8832 and elects to be treated as a corporation. However, for tax employment purposes and certain excise taxes, an LLC with only one member is still considered a separate entity.
PROFESSIONAL CORPORATION
Professional corporations are entities for which certain states contain corporation statutes to make special provisions, regulating the use of the entity by licensed professionals such as doctors, attorneys, engineers, and accountants.
dba – DOING BUSINESS AS
We have a necessary option to give life to your business name if you operate under a name other than the legal one. Sole proprietorships often use DBA because the official and legal name of a sole proprietorship is simply the name of the owner. A DBA allows them to use a real business name.
LLC OR PARTNERSHIP
Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute. Each state may use different regulations. Check with your state if you are interested in starting a Limited Liability Company. Owners of an LLC are called members. Most states do not restrict ownership. Members may include individuals, corporations, other LLCs, and foreign entities. There is no maximum number of members. Most states also permit “single-member” LLCs, those having only one owner.
A few types of businesses generally cannot be LLCs, such as banks and insurance companies. Check your state’s requirements and the federal tax regulations for further information. There are special rules for foreign LLCs.

BUSINESS EFFECTIVE DATE OF ELECTION
An LLC that does not want to accept its default federal tax classification, or that wishes to change its classification; uses Form 8832, Entity Classification Election, to elect how it will be classified for federal tax purposes. Generally, an election specifying an LLC’s classification cannot take effect more than 75 days before the date the election is filed, nor can it take effect later than 12 months after the date the election is filed. An LLC may be eligible for late election relief in certain circumstances.
PARTNERSHIPS
A partnership is a relationship between two or more people to do trade or business. Each person contributes money, property, labor or skill, and shares the business profits and losses.
PARTNERSHIP CLASSIFIED ORGANIZATIONS
An unincorporated organization with two or more members is generally classified as a partnership for federal tax purposes if its members carry on a trade, business, financial operation, or venture and divide its profits. However, a joint undertaking merely to share expenses is not a partnership. For example, co-ownership of property maintained and rented or leased is not a partnership unless the co-owners provide services to the tenants.
