Which do I pick for EIN?

If you are not settling claims, don't pick the last one.

FORGET the RIC! You don't know, so YOU DON'T QUALIFY!

If this isn't for a REIT where you get a management fee, and the trust is for investors to invest in, forget THAT!

Again, a PSC is unlikely to be the one!

That leaves the top two which are the most common.

Basically, an S corporation looks, to the IRS, much like it is you. You can pay on the same return. It is popular for very small businesses and partnerships.

A C corporation is taxed totally separately, and is what companies like Amazon, IBM, Sears, etc... are.

BTW please note that I am NOT an accountant or attorney. ALSO, the type C requires the articles of incorporation, according to that site. *I* thought the S type did ALSO. And THOSE are with the STATE! State rules, requirements, taxes, and fees, vary a LOT! In some cases it is practically NOTHING in others it could be thousands. Those taxes are paid to the state and possibly the city. That is SEPARATE from the federal government.
