The IRS considers a single member LLC to be a disregarded entity.  

The IRS only recognizes sole proprietorships, partnerships with more than one partner, S Corporations and C Corporations.

If you are a single member LLC, you cannot be an employee of the single member LLC, you are self-employed, and should include your business on your 1040.

If you want to be an employee of your business, you have to form a corporation.
