An LLC is a business entity created by filing Articles of Organization with your state’s Secretary of State. Its owners, called members, can include individuals, corporations, other LLCs, and even foreign entities. There’s no limit to how many members an LLC may have.
This structure is especially popular with professionals and real-estate owners because it provides limited liability protection, meaning members are generally not personally responsible for business debts. LLCs are also flexible when it comes to taxation; they may be taxed as a sole proprietorship, partnership, or even elect S-Corporation status.

A Sole Proprietor is an individual who owns and operates a business that is not registered as an LLC or Corporation. This category includes freelancers, independent contractors, and most one-owner businesses without partners. Household employers also fall under this classification.

NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
Non-profits include Corporations, Trusts, LLCs, and Unincorporated Associations that qualify for tax-exempt status under IRC 501(a). Examples include educational groups, foundations, charities, veteran organizations, HOA/condo associations, and school-based groups like PTAs.
For-profit businesses, Sole Proprietors, and Partnerships do not qualify for tax-exempt status.

S-CORPORATION
An S-Corporation is formed by filing Articles of Incorporation with the state and then electing S-Corp tax status. This structure avoids double taxation by allowing income to pass through directly to shareholders. It is commonly used by professionals such as consultants, dentists, and medical practitioners.
PERSONAL SERVICE COOPERATION
A Personal Service Corporation is a corporation formed by professionals who provide specialized services such as health care, law, architecture, accounting, engineering, consulting, or the performing arts. In most PSCs, the employees who perform the services own the majority of the company’s stock.

A Trust is a legal arrangement formed under state law, where one party (the Trustor) transfers assets to another party (the Trustee) to manage for the benefit of a third party (the beneficiary).
Common types include:
Irrevocable Trust: Cannot be changed or revoked; the trust pays its own taxes.
Revocable Trust: May be modified during the Trustor’s lifetime; the assets remain part of the Trustor’s taxable estate.
An Estate is formed after someone passes away and represents all property owned by the decedent. The Estate is responsible for paying outstanding debts and distributing remaining assets to beneficiaries according to the will or state law.

A Partnership is an unincorporated business with two or more owners. Each partner contributes money, skills, or property and shares in the profits and losses of the business. Partners may be individuals, corporations, trusts, estates, or other partnerships.
Partnerships are pass-through entities, meaning taxes flow directly to the partners rather than the business itself.
CHURCH ORGANIZATION
For tax purposes, a church includes any recognized place of worship including temples and mosques, that is part of an organized religion. To qualify, the organization must have a clear mission and be formally structured as a distinct legal entity.

COPORATION
A Corporation is a business structure formed by submitting Articles of Incorporation to the state. Once registered, the corporation becomes a separate legal entity with its own rights, responsibilities, and protections under the law. It may be created by one or more individuals, and after formation, it exists independently from its owners and can continue operating indefinitely.
