This means that an LLC must file a tax return as a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. An LLC with at least two members can choose to be classified as a corporation or as a partnership. If you choose corporation status, you must file Form 8832 (Entity Classification Election). You don't need to file Form 8832 if you're an LLC filing as a partnership. Corporations file Form 1120 (U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return). Partnerships file Form 1065 (U.S. Return of Partnership Income). Each partner's share of income, expenses, etc., is then entered on Schedule C (Profit or Loss from Businss). For more information, go to the IRS Small Business screen at www.irs.gov/business/small.
