LLC is Limited Liability Company. It's allowed by state statute. But the IRS doesn't recognize LLC as a classification for federal tax purposes.

Under IRS Default Rules, a Limited Liability Company with at least two members is considered as a partnership. Form 8832 is Entity Classification Election. An LLC with two or more members would only have to file Form 8832 if the LLC didn't want to file as a partnership. As a partnership, the LLC would file Form 1065 (U.S. Return of Partnership Income).

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 541 (Partnerships) and Publication 3402 (Tax Issues for Limited Liability Companies).
