Question

I formed an LLC last year, and it's just me. I didn't actually do any consulting work. I spent money, but made none and didn't pay myself. What do I need to file?

I'm just not sure what I need to file and what forms I should have, especially since I didn't make any money from this business and didn't pay myself anything.

    Your single member LLC is a regarded entity for tax purposes.

     

    You should file your LLC on a Schedule C in your personal return.

     

    In 2024 if you have been active but had no income, you can still report your expenses on a Schedule C.

     

    This would result in a loss which can be used to offset your other ordinary income, or be carried forward.
