Default What would you need to do if you change the way in which your LLC gets

Since LLC can be taxed in number of different ways, you can change the way in which your LLC gets taxed, right? For example, change from a Sole Proprietor to a Corporation? What would you need to do if you change the way in which your LLC gets taxed? Ok, you need to submit a form, two or three to IRS, but besides that, what would you need to do?

An LLC would file IRS Form 8832 to elect to be taxed as a corporation. Beyond that, you would be filing an annual corporation income tax return (Form 1120) instead of just attaching a Schedule C to your 1040 individual income tax return. State tax filings might be a little different also, so you'll want to check with your state's department of taxation for information.

Obviously, taxation is different with a corporation and things can get complicated, so the best thing would be to consult a CPA for guidance/assistance. There might be some tax implications you haven't thought of.

As an example, assets can generally be transferred between an LLC and its owner with no taxable consequence (because a single-member LLC is disregarded for tax purposes), so when you want to put something into or taking something out of the LLC, it's not such a big deal relatively speaking. But transferring assets from yourself to a corporation (or an LLC that is taxed like one) might result in a taxable gain to the corporation. So talk to a CPA to beef up your understanding of the tax implications associated with an LLC that is taxed as a corporation and the things you'll need to do that you might not otherwise have to with an LLC that is taxed like a sole proprietorship.
