Hello, 

I need help.  I went online and apply a EIN for an LLC for a business  consists  of only one owner.  A computer generated a letter with the EIN, there is a paragraph that says Based on the information received from you or your representative, you must file the following form by the date shown

Form 1065        03-15-2020.

The question is do must I  file Form 1065 partnership return OR Form 1040 with Schedule C.  Is it OK if I choose to file 1040 Schedule C instead?  

Thank you,

Sounds like you made an incorrect choice (or several incorrect choices) somewhere along the line in the application.

I just started an application, chose LLC and 1 member and the very next screen showed this...do you remember seeing this first page?   then the next page it asks why youre applying..did you choose started a new business or what?

A single member LLC is generally disregarded, and reports on F 1040.

You evidently answered some of the questions incorrectly, and now the IRS *will* expect to get a partnership return.

Edit...my comments below is uncalled for; I didn't realize @jasontran IS a tax pro.  Mea culpa

I suggest you seek local, professional help with rectifying the situation.

I think you should call in Monday morning and see if you can get that EIN voided or canceled, explain that this wasnt as intended then try again.

oops... my bad.  I must have missed that, and I most definitely misread the original post.

@jasontran  - I apologize.  It's been a long couple of days here at the office.
