How many owners does your LLC have? Is it just you? Is it you and your spouse?
How you elected to be taxed as a corporation? If there are two or more owners and you are not married or you are not in a community property state, then you have to file as a partnership, if you did not previously tell the IRS that you wanted to be taxed as a corporation.
If you are the sole owner and you never told the IRS that you wanted to be taxed as a corporation, then you can file as a "disregarded entity" and use Schedule C on the 1040 return.
If you and your spouse both own the LLC and work for it and you live in a community property state, then you can each file a Schedule C, each of you claiming 50% of the business's income and expenses or whatever percentage best approximates your participation.
If you and your spouse do not live in a community property state and you both own the LLC and work in it, then you must file a partnership return (1065) in addition to your 1040.
"Note: If an LLC is owned by husband and wife in a non-community property state, the LLC should file as a partnership. LLCs owned by a husband and wife are not eligible to be "qualified joint ventures" (which can elect not be treated as partnerships) because they are state law entities.
