Form 8832 asks about number of owners — how does that affect my classification options?
I'm filling out Form 8832 for my LLC and line 3 asks if I have more than one owner. I'm the only owner. How does answering 'No' change what classifications I can elect? Also, if I add a partner later, do I need to file a new Form 8832?
