For the reasons Soaper has stated I filed an LLC. I also was advised by a lawyer to do the same.... It was a pretty simple process. The down side (which is a minor thing) is that there is a $100/year per member, as well as there being a $10/3 year biennial statement fee. Fortunately for me I am a SMLLC (single member Limited liability co.) so I am view as a sole-propietor for tax purposes only. Go ahead, go LLC!
