Not Sure Which Business Entity to Select?

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Articles of organization must be filed with the Secretary of State in order to create a Limited Liability Company. Members of an LLC are its owners. Individuals, businesses, other LLCs, and foreign entities can all be members. There is no upper limit on the number of members that can form an LLC.

Since LLCs are corporate structures that shield its members (owners) from personal liability for the debts of the business, they are typically the preferred entity form for some professionals and landlords. Since an LLC is a legal entity rather than a tax designation, its owners can choose to file as a Partnership, S-Corporation, or even as a Sole Proprietor.

Sole Proprietor / Individual

An individual who owns a business that is not formed or registered with the state as a Corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) is known as a Sole Proprietor. This covers all independent contractors and freelancers as well as many business owners without partners. This category also includes household employers.

Estate of Deceased Individual

A legal entity established following a person's death is called an Estate. The deceased person's real estate and/or personal belongings make up the Estate. The Estate is in charge of paying off any obligations the decedent may have had and allocating the remaining assets to the beneficiaries.

Trusts

A Trust is a fiduciary relationship established by state law in which one party, known as the Trustor, grants another, known as the Trustee, the legal right to own assets, including property, for the benefit of the other.

Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts are the two most common types of Trusts.

  • Irrevocable Trust: The Trust will pay taxes and the Trustor has no authority over it; it cannot be repealed or annulled.
  • Revocable Trust: During the lifetime of the Trustor, a Revocable Trust may be changed or dissolved. The Trust is regarded as a component of the Trustor's Estate and is taxable as it can be changed at any point up until the Trustor's passing.

Non Profit Organization

Corporations, Trusts, LLCs, and Unincorporated Associations are examples of Non-Profit Organizations that are eligible for tax-exempt status under IRS Code IRC 501(a). Private foundations, educational institutions, public charities, veteran's organizations, business leagues, homeowners' or condo associations, PTA/PTO, or school organizations are a few examples of Non-Profit Organizations.

Partnerships, Sole Proprietorships, and for-profit businesses are not eligible for tax exemption

Corporation

By submitting its Articles of Incorporation to the State, a Corporation creates a legal entity with rights, privileges, and liabilities. With a charter from the Secretary of State, an individual or group of individuals can form a Corporation. A Corporation has an endless lifespan and becomes its own legal entity after it is formed.

Get started

Partnership

An unincorporated organization with two or more members is called a Partnership. A Partnership's members conduct a business or trade and split the earnings. Individuals, businesses, Trusts, Estates, and other types of Partnerships can all be considered partners. In addition to providing cash, real estate, labor, or skills, each partner anticipates receiving a portion of the company's gains and losses. The Partnership's tax obligation is transferred to its partners.

Get started

S-Corporation

An S-Corporation is a particular kind of Corporation that is created by submitting Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. It is a domestic Corporation that qualifies and seeks to prevent double taxation (once to the Corporation and once to the shareholders). Instead of the Corporation itself, the shareholders of an S-Corporation pay taxes on the Corporation's income. Doctors, dentists, and some consultants are among the professions that typically select S-Corporations.

Get started

Church Organization

Any group claiming to be a church, association or convention of churches is considered a "church" for tax purposes. The term "church" encompasses houses of worship such as mosques and temples. A group must have a mission statement, be officially organized as a separate legal body, and be a member of an organized religion in order to qualify as a church for tax purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Federal Tax ID Number (EIN)?
