  • 88. Throwback: New Business Owner? You're likely a Sole Proprietorship without knowing it!
    Dec 4 2024

    Send us a text

    THROWBACK EPISODE! OLDIE BUT GOODIE :)

    If you started a business and didn't file any paperwork, what type of business are you??? Do you know???

    The IRS will automatically classify your business as a sole proprietorship and that you will file the business income and expenses on Schedule C of your personal tax return. So not much will change except for your tax return!

    If you filed an LLC, you can still be classified as a Sole Proprietorship. You will have some additional filing requirements for the state you filed the LLC in.

    In this episode we discuss:

    -Do you need an EIN for your sole proprietorship?
    -What expenses can you deduct (i.e. save $$ in taxes)?
    -How do you file your business taxes?
    -What other filing requirements do sole proprietors have?
    -Can you be an LLC and a sole proprietorship?

    If you are new to owning a business, this episode is a perfect place to start educating yourself on paying taxes as a business owner!
