If you are wasting your time with LLCs please look up what a single owner LLC is, and, learn that it is nothing but an over glorified sole proprietorship. It is nothing but an expensive pretty thing to look at.
A multiple person LLC can adopt either a corporate structure or a partnership structure.
If you just want to have a new tax ID number get a local county clerk DBA and use that info, it gives as much protection and tax advatages as a disregarded entity, or single person LLC, for less money.
The LLC CAN pay your wages, but, you better show a zero profit on the LLC, or that becomes your income too.
No matter what you are going to pay the taxes, learn about tax matching, PLUS, start adding in your unemployment taxes, state and FUTA, worker's compensation, and all the other perks employers pay on employees.
See your state gov's website and irs.gov for more information on how to tax yourself.
