Question

Dissolving a LLC without income - IRS?

Im dissolving a partnership LLC in Florida that was active in 2024 but had no activity/no income, is required to file a final tax from 2024/2025 anyway or just a letter requesting the cancellation of the EIN is enough and on the letter inform that since the end of 2023 the LLC had no activity?

from 1065 instructions

Domestic Partnerships
Except as provided below, every domestic partnership must file
Form 1065, unless it neither receives income nor incurs any
expenditures treated as deductions or credits for federal income tax
purposes.

an LLC has the same filing requirements.

thus technically no return is required. When working for a CPA firm we always filed a "Final Return" even if not required.

to save money, you can download the 065 from the iRS website and complete it manually. enter "0" for total revenue and total expenses e

there should be no assets, liabilities or equity in schedule L at the end of the year.

So instead of filling a final tax with 0 income and expenses sending a letter informing no activity and closing the EIN has the same effect correct?

Employee

I would recommend filing a form 1065 with zero and line G box 2 marked with an "x".

This will be easier for the IRS to understand as I am fairly certain this is how it is handled in 99% of the time.

Very easy and simple.

Also send it certified mail return receipt if you are not electronically filing the return.
