My husband and I opened a new construction co (LLC) midyear 2022, we made no income but had a small amount of expenses. Do we have to file a return for 2023 or can we save the expenses and file next year after we start earning?

You need to file a Schedule C for the new business.  You can only claim the expenses you incurred in 2022 on your 2022 tax return (i.e., you can't "hold" them for next year).

You can file multiple Schedule Cs.  

 

Add another Schedule C:

  1. Open your return
  2. Search for schedule c in search box.
  3. Click on jump to schedule c link.
  4. Click on +Add another business.
