INSTRUCTIONS : ENTITY CLASSIFICATION ELECTION (Form 8832)
Form 8832 is a United States Internal Revenue Service tax form filed by a non-individual entity to declare their classification for tax purposes. The entity can choose to be taxed as a corporation, a partnership, or other form which will have specific tax consequences.

The form should be submitted as soon as a business is created or changes which requires a change in tax designation.
