CRA says LLCs are taxed like corporations. The IRS says they are disregarded or taxed as partnerships (I.e., passthrough). This mismatch causes great pain. :-)

This mismatch causes great pain. :-) A lot of times this mismatch (an entity is treated as a corporation in one country and something else in another country) can be used for fun and profit. These are called "hybrid entities" and they bedevil the government. I like that. :-)
