LLC taxed as a corporation - what happens & how?

I may file Form 8832 to reclassify my LLC as an "association taxable as a corporation", or form 2553 to elect status as an S Corp.

 

Staffing agencies frequently offer work called "W2 Hourly" and "Corp-to-Corp" (C2C). One has specifically stated "no 1099" and will accept an "LLC, *excluding single-member LLCs taxed as disregarded entities*". As a freelancer, I'd like to support as many types of compensation as possible.

 

Form 8832 or 2553?
What effect would this change bring?

What's the broadest range of income types I could support? Able to accept 1099 work in the future?

Would tax year 2019 be part "disregarded entity", part "taxable as corp"?

 

Current setup:

Single-member LLC taxed as "disregarded entity". Founded 2014 in Texas.

Solo401k - five years of max contributions.

All LLC income to date has been reported on 1099.
