You can (and, should) do both at the same time. You can do this online at the state's official website. Go to the website and click the BUSINESS link ... it will be obvious from there. Your personal taxes won't be affected until you start transferring revenue from the LLC to yourselves. The business' taxes won't be affected until it begins earning money.
