I had additional start up expenses in early 2015, but the death of my partner put the business on an indefinite hold, so no income was made,

net operating loss (NOL) is a loss taken in a period where a company's allowable tax deductions are greater than its taxable income, resulting in a negative taxable income. This generally occurs when a company has incurred more expenses than revenues during the period.

You may check your net profit (or loss) on your Schedule C, at line 31.
