1. General Information Only

All content on TheLLCWiki — including guides, articles, tools, generated documents, form instructions, fee schedules, filing procedures, and any other material — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.

This content does not constitute and should not be relied upon as legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, financial advice, or any other form of professional advice. The information is intended to help users understand general concepts and processes, not to address any specific individual's or entity's particular circumstances.

2. No Professional Relationship

Using TheLLCWiki — in any capacity, including using its tools, reading its guides, downloading generated documents, or contacting us — does not create any of the following relationships:

• Attorney-client relationship
• CPA-client or accountant-client relationship
• Financial advisor-client relationship
• Tax advisor-client relationship
• Any other professional advisory relationship

TheLLCWiki is not a law firm, CPA firm, accounting firm, or registered investment advisor. No person or entity at TheLLCWiki is acting as your attorney, CPA, accountant, or financial advisor.

3. Accuracy and Currency of Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure the information on TheLLCWiki is accurate and up to date, but we make no warranties or representations — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any content.

Information May Be Outdated

IRS rules, regulations, forms, and procedures change. State filing fees, deadlines, registered agent requirements, annual report rules, and tax obligations change. Information on TheLLCWiki reflects our understanding as of the date indicated on each page. It may no longer be current when you read it.

State Requirements Vary Widely

LLC formation requirements, fees, franchise taxes, annual report obligations, and state-level S-corp recognition rules differ from state to state and change frequently. Always verify current requirements directly with the relevant state agency — typically the Secretary of State, Department of Revenue, or Department of Taxation — before filing anything.

IRS Is the Authoritative Source

For all federal tax matters, the IRS and official IRS publications are the authoritative source. TheLLCWiki's descriptions of IRS forms, procedures, and rules are summaries intended for general education and may not reflect all nuances, exceptions, or recent changes. Consult irs.gov and a qualified tax professional for your specific situation.

4. Tools and Generated Documents

TheLLCWiki offers free tools that generate IRS forms, letters, and other documents based on information you enter. These tools are provided as a convenience and starting point only. The following limitations apply:

• Generated documents are based solely on the information you provide — errors in your inputs produce errors in the output
• TheLLCWiki does not review, verify, or validate the information you enter
• A generated form or letter is not a substitute for professional review before submission to the IRS or any government agency
• The IRS may reject, question, or follow up on any filing regardless of whether it was generated by a tool
• TheLLCWiki makes no guarantee that any generated document will be accepted by the IRS or any state agency
• You are solely responsible for the accuracy and completeness of any document you submit

Before mailing or faxing any generated document to the IRS or a state agency, verify its accuracy with a qualified CPA or tax attorney.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TheLLCWiki and its owners, operators, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from:

• Use of or reliance on any content, tool, or generated document on this site
• Rejection of any filing by the IRS, a state agency, or any other authority
• Errors, omissions, or inaccuracies in any content or tool output
• Tax penalties, interest, or additional assessments resulting from reliance on this site
• Changes in law, regulation, or agency procedure that render any information obsolete
• Any action taken or not taken based on information found on this site

This limitation applies even if TheLLCWiki has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

6. Always Consult a Professional

For any situation involving legal, tax, or financial consequences, you should consult with a qualified professional who can review your specific facts and circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Deciding whether to form an LLC, S corporation, or other entity type
• Electing S corporation status or filing Form 2553
• Determining your reasonable compensation as an S corp owner
• Filing amended returns or responding to IRS notices
• Applying for late-election relief or Private Letter Rulings
• Choosing a state in which to form your business
• Any matter with potential tax penalties or legal consequences

TheLLCWiki's guides are designed to help you understand concepts and ask better questions of your professional advisors — not to replace those advisors.
