A)The LLC's default classification under the check-the-box rules is as a partnership.
B)The LLC can elect to have its default classification ignored.

Question

The incorrect statement is D because once an LLC elects its tax classification, it generally cannot change that classification again for 60 months without IRS approval. The statement about waiting until the third tax year to change status to a C corporation does not accurately represent the restrictions on changing tax classifications.
