This is my clients 1st time filing her business taxes & I have not worked with her previously. I cannot tell how her LLC is structured & she doesn't remember. Should I file them as a business or with her personal taxes?

I mean that she works. she has an employer that issued her a w-2. which probably is not important to the question I asked.

but there is no employees of the LLC


Once again, let's take one thing at a time: "I mean that she works. she has an employer that issued her a w-2. which probably is not important to the question I asked."

Okay, is this what you are stating: "She has a Real Job working for someone else, and the pastry operation is a side-gig she started doing."

See how perspective helps?

"but there is no employees of the LLC"

A single-member LLC that has no employees, not even this person, means it is Not acting as a corporation. Have you checked with the IRS, because they will have a record of the election? For instance, if you file using 1120 or 1120S, there should have been Payroll for her, and if there never was election to be treated as a Corporation, the IRS will kick it back as an error.

So far, you seem to have a Schedule C operation, but it's Your name, not ours, when you file this as the professional preparer. Have you done as much due diligence as possible, or not?

"& she doesn't remember"

Get the Paperwork from her, from the Secretary of State, from whoever helped her "form" this entity and file the papers.

I have the paperwork and I can't tell if it is a single member or corporation. I've also read the info on the IRS website.  So I am going with corporation and file the business taxes. but I wanted to see if I could get a little more insight.

Oh, as usual, forming an LLC for a side-gig baking, was not likely needed. People get all sorts of bad guidance, of course.


Thank You. I have done more research and am glad that I did not stick with my original thinking.  She has a single member LLC, which was probably not needed for her side gig, as you stated. So, I am educating myself to give her better guidance than she has received, which is why I posed the question originally.

Thanks Again, your input was very helpful.
