Help! LOL- Ok I got an EIN, I registered a DBA name as an LLC. However, a few days later I was reading more, and I now want to change to a sole propreitorship. Please tell me how to change it. I was reading on the IRS website and it wasn't very clear. Thanks for any help you can give!

Unfortunately, it's not really possible to just convert an LLC into a sole
proprietorship. You do have the option of dissolving your LLC and starting up
a sole proprietorship using the same name or what have you, but unfortunately
it's not a clean transfer. I suggest consulting a document filing service for
assistance.
