About to publish, what am i missing?

TyDietrich

I am just about ready to publish my first game. I wanted to know if i should start an LLC before launching the game. If I don't start an LLC should I still put my company name in the game, even though the company is not registered with the state? Or should i just launch the game with no company name in the splash screen and just keep my name in the credits?

I just don't want to be sued or have any trouble with the IRS when it comes to making money on my game.

This is what I know...you do not want to put a company name in apple tax information page without a registered company name and FIN (Federal Indentification Number). If you did you might just be trying to cash a check with "blahblah company" on it and unless you have that number you cant cash it at your bank.

You are a "sole proprietor" and ahould be using your SS number with Apple untill you create yout LLC.
