What do I choose as my business type while creating a business?

Form 2290 requires you to provide information about your business like EIN, business type, signing authority information, business name, and address.

When you start e-file form 2290, you have to enter the business details, including business type. To help you choose the appropriate business type, we have listed the available business types.

Here is a brief description of each business type.

Sole Proprietor or Single Member-LLC – Businesses with a single owner can choose this as their business type.

S-Corporation or LLC as an S-Corp – Any standard corporation or business is considered an S-Corporation.

C-Corporation or LLC as a C-Corp – Any default corporations or businesses with some tax advantages with the IRS is considered a C-Corporation. It is an S-Corporation with special tax status.

Partnerships or LLC as a partnership – Limited Liability Companies (LLC) with two or more owners can be considered a partnership. Partnerships are different from the LLCs because the partners are liable for any debts in the business, unlike the usual LLCs.

Estates – Estates are considered properties of people; businesses on a small scale that consider themselves as Estates can choose this as their business type.

Trusts and Fiduciaries – Trusts that are required to file Form 2290 can choose this as their business type.

Exempt Organizations – Any organizations exempted from paying federal taxes by the IRS can be considered exempt organizations.

Others or Not Sure – If your business doesn’t fit into any of the above categories, you can choose this as your business type.
