Get Started

The purpose of the Business Entity Planning Worksheet is to identify basic information that is needed to form a new business or change the form of an existing business. This program provides information regarding the following entities:

  • Sole proprietorship.
  • Partnership (general).
  • Limited partnership.
  • "C" corporation (regular).
  • "S" corporation.
  • Limited liability company.

This program also requests the preferences of the owners to determine which business entity (or entities) may be the most appropriate form of business. This information can then be provided to a lawyer, accountant, or other tax expert who will assist with the determination of the appropriate entity. Generally, liability and income tax considerations are the most important factors in the selection of a particular business structure. The summary provided by the program is not an adequate substitute for the expert advice of a lawyer, accountant, or other knowledgeable business consultant.
