When filing for an EIN is it okay to be classified as a partnership or should I fill out the form for an scorp

Question

I was filling out the form to apply for an EIN but since it said I was a multi member LLC that I should be classified as a partnership, is this okay or should I fill out the forms to be classified as an s-corporation? In terms of tax write offs and things of that nature

Answer 1

You need to file it as the type of business your forming.  Filing this form incorrectly is viewed as fraudulent by the IRS.

If your asking which type of business to form (thats almost what it sounds like), there are a lot of factors in determining that.  The EIN app doesn't determine what kind of company you for, you determine that, then make sure everything is filed to match that.

You didn't give enough info to determine what type of business is best for your situation.
