DBA Name Change and Business Shift
Asked onMonday, May 01, 2023 by JuliaI have a current DBA that I have filed for 2 years. It is a graphic design business and I do book covers. Recently, I have gotten more web design and want to re-brand and change the name. Do I have to file a name change with the IRS? I already have the other name registered with my state and the new business is web design and branding not book covers, which is a different buisness even though the codes are the same on the tax form for specialized design services. I am a sole proprietor and have no EIN just my Social if that makes a difference. And if I don't do the name change would that mean two Schedule Cs for my 2023 taxes?

Question about 2023 W4
Asked onFriday, April 28, 2023 by DavidI have a question regarding step 2 of the W4 form. I started a new job and the form has changed from last time I filled one out. I work as well as my wife, so 2 jobs. I make $180,000 a year and she makes $40,000 so there is a gap between our pay. I thought I read that when filing out step 2 this gap could cause the IRS to hold out more taxes from each of my paychecks each time. I just want the minimum taken out so that i don’t owe or owe too much at the end of the year. Do I need to fill out step 2 and if so how so I can have the minimum taken out. Thank you

Do we need to file Form 1065
Asked onFriday, April 28, 2023 by StevenI got an EIN for a partnership with my wife in January 2022. Our intention was to start a Maryland Family Farm LLC but we didn't get that done. Do we still need to submit a form 1065 or is the Schedule F we have been filing sufficient until we get the LLC established? We didn't make a profit in 2022 but we should in 2023.
