Do you already have your company in operation. If not or if there is nothing official you should talk to your accountant, get one if you don't. Me and my partner acted before we should have and will eventually have to pay for it. My accountant told us that there are benefits to all of your options as well as drawbacks, but the overall best way to go is an s-corp. But, as I said talk to an accountant first, they passed the tests for a reason.

LLC looks promising. The simplcity of partnership or sole-propritor with the protection offered by a corp.

Currently operating as a sole proprietorship (sp), will start operating on 1-1-2001 as S-Corp. Was very easy, did it on-line at http://www.mycorporation.com. The site also has a lot of good info.

Sole Prop. for now.Am seriuosly looking into LLC for reasons previously stated. Simpler to maintain and the benefits of decreased liability.
