Click on the link below and you can apply for a Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) online.  You need an EIN for the LLC so it can open its own bank account, which you definitely need to do -- don't commingle personal and business funds, it can make you personally liable for LLC debts and liabilities.

Go to the CA Secretary of State website (http://www.ss.ca.gov/) for information on starting a business.\n\nI would HIGHLY recommend that you DO NOT be a sole proprietor, and do NOT use your SSN (get an Employer ID Number from the IRS for free--see www.irs.gov for how to do that).  You pay a LOT more in taxes if you are a sole proprietor (pay double for Fed, Social Insecurity, and State taxes).\n\nI would recommend a corporation (for reducing tax liability) or a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for reducing personal liability, and you can have an LLC taxed as a corporation, too.\n\nYou do have to go to the county clerk's office to register the business, pay the money, and advertise the formation of the business in a local newspaper (the clerk will have this information for you).\n\nGo to www.alglaw.com for additional info.

Check with your local courthouse about registering a business name and any licensing requirements.  As long as you are the sole owner of the business and have no employees, you can use your SSN for a Federal Tax ID no.  For state taxes, it depends on your state and the type of business.  For example, if you will be required to collect sales tax, some states require a separate tax ID even if you don't have employees.

Do you have the papers to verify the existence of the LLC?  Because, for what you said, I think you should check Option h and you meet the requirements for Exception 1, you have a partnership interest.

what licensing is required in your area, information on taxes, if you have employees what are the laws in your state for them, etc.  Start by going to the IRS web site to get information on taxes for the feds. Then go to your state website and get the same information.  Call your city to see what they require (some need just a business license some need a food handlers permit and some will require you have a commercial kitchen used for the business exclusively).  Good luck.

Forming a limited liability company (LLC) is easy. Here are the steps you need to take to make your LLC a legal reality.\n\n1.Choose an available business name that complies with your state's LLC rules. \n2. File formal paperwork, usually called articles of organization, and pay the filing fee (ranging from $40 to $900, depending on the state). \n3. Create an LLC operating agreement, which sets out the rights and responsibilities of the LLC members. \n4. Publish a notice of your intent to form an LLC (required in only a few states). \n5. Obtain licenses and permits that may be required for your business. \n\nChoosing a Name for Your LLC\n---------------------------------------\nThe name of your LLC must comply with the rules of your state's LLC division. (Typically, this office is combined with the corporations division, and is part of the department or secretary of state's office.) While requirements differ from state to state, generally:\n\n---the name cannot be the same as the name of another LLC on file with the LLC office \n---the name must end with an LLC designator, such as "Limited Liability Company" or "Limited Company," or an abbreviation of one of these phrases (such as "LLC," "L.L.C.," or "Ltd. Liability Co.")\n---the name cannot include certain words prohibited by the state, such as Bank, Insurance, Corporation or City (states differ widely on prohibited terms). \n\nYour state's LLC office can tell you how to check if your proposed name is available for your use. Often, for a small fee, you can reserve your LLC name for a short period of time until you file your articles of organization.\n\nBesides following your state's LLC naming rules, you must make sure your name won't violate another company's trademark.\n\nOnce you've found a legal and available name, you don't usually need to register it with your state. When you file your articles of organization, your business name will be automatically registered.\n\nFiling Articles of Organization\n-----------------------------------------\nAfter settling on a name, you must prepare and file "articles of organization" with your state's LLC filing office. While most states use the term "articles of organization" to refer to the basic document creating an LLC, some states (including Delaware, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Washington) use the term "certificate of formation." Two other states (Massachusetts and Pennsylvania) call the document a "certificate of organization."\n\nFiling Fees:\nOne disadvantage of forming an LLC instead of a partnership or a sole proprietorship is that you'll have to pay a filing fee when you submit your articles of organization. In most states, the fees are modest -- typically around $100. In a few others, they take a bigger bite: consider California ($70, plus an $800 annual tax), Illinois ($500), and Massachusetts ($500).\n\nRequired Information:\nArticles of organization are short, simple documents. In fact, you can usually prepare your own in just a few minutes by filling in the blanks and checking the boxes on a form provided by your state's filing office. Typically, you must provide only your LLC's name, its address, and sometimes the names of all of the owners -- called members. Generally, all of the LLC owners may prepare and sign the articles, or they can appoint just one person to do so.\n\nRegistered Agent:\nYou will probably also be required to list the name and address of a person -- usually one of the LLC members -- who will act as your LLC's "registered agent," or "agent for service of process." Your agent is the person who will receive legal papers in any future lawsuit involving your LLC.\n\nCreating an LLC Operating Agreement\n----------------------------------------\nEven though operating agreements need not be filed with the LLC filing office and
