My wife and I recently formed an LLC for a consulting business.  While applying for an EIN from the IRS, we are asked "if we would like to be considered a Sole Proprietorship or a partnership from a federal tax standpoint?"
What`s better and what are the Pros/Cons of each?  If we go the sole proprietor route, will it have any implications on our ability to pursue minority/women owned set asides in non-governement entities?
