2008. I am a 50% partner (LLC). I worked at my regular job until the end of Sept. 2008. I have my W-2 form from that employer. What do I need to file this year? I am at a total loss!”
Dear Cheryl,
That’s an interesting business idea. Are you really getting folks to drop off their dogs each morning as they go to work? And all the dogs get along? Hmmm….
What do you do for your taxes? Well, you and your partner need to decide QUICKLY, if you want to file your business tax returns as a partnership or a corporation, and which kind of corporation. You have until Monday to make this decision because corporation returns (or extensions) are due on Monday.

Here’s how to find a tax professional. https://snurl.com/preparer
The simplest way to handle this if you haven’t done any tax planning at all up to this point, is to file as a partnership. That gives you another month to get your act together and get an appointment with a tax pro who can help you with some other decisions – and help you get your tax return prepared.
Hopefully, when you started your business, you opened a separate bank account for it, and you started keeping books? If not, you’re going to need an extension for your personal tax return, as well as your partnership tax return, while you get your bookkeeping done for the year.

You’ll find a link to FileLater on this page – to help you get the extensions done electronically, so you have proof they were filed. https://www.taxmama.com/resources/tax.html
Now, once the partnership return is done, you’ll be able to use the information from the partnership’s K-1 forms in your own tax return. The data will go on Schedule E, page 2.
