Hi all,

I have a client, we are applying for an LLC then filing Form 2553 to elect S-Corp status. My question, when we file for LLC, since we know we will elect S-Corp shouldn't we file as CORP and the legal name of the company will be XYZ, Corp.

I am not sure if we must start with XYZ, LLC, then AFTER we file Form 2553 we can change the company name to XYZ, Corp.

Not sure if I am making too much of this, maybe either way is ok...but thought I would run it by this forum to see if anyone else has had the experience.

Thanks for all your help,

Diane Offutt Woodstock, Georgia
