Question

I am new to this. I started a side business, LLC. Do I file taxes for that LLC or can I add it to my personal tax return, or does it have to be separate?

What kind of LLC?  Are you a Single Member LLC?  Did you elect to be a S corp?

if it is a single-member LLC that hasn't elected to be treated as a corporation, then you pretend the LLC doesn't exist and generally would report the activity on Schedule C included in your return.

If you are a single member LLC that has not incorporated in your state then the IRS considers your business as a disregarded entity.  You report your self-employment income and expenses on a Schedule C.  The Schedule C is included with your personal tax return Form 1040.
