Key Steps to Forming an LLC in the U.S.

Hey everyone! I’m planning to start an LLC soon, but I’m a bit lost on where to actually begin. I know it’s supposed to give me liability protection and some tax benefits, but I’m not sure about the steps I need to take, especially with things like choosing the right name, handling any paperwork, and staying compliant. Anyone here gone through this process and willing to share some advice? Just trying to wrap my head around what to expect!
