Tax Forms

Need to file tax forms and close my EIN

Hi, We recently dissolved my LLC. We created it in the state of Florida in April 2022. But, we did not have any activity, nor income, with it. Do I need to file taxes? I think I need to file tax form 1065 and close my EIN. Can I get help to do this? Do I need to do anything else to have everything in order with the state? Thanks, Pilar

Credits

2024 Federal Tax Credit for Electric Trucks

Hello, can you please tell me if an LLC has no net income can they still receive the 2024 tax credit incentive for electric trucks (up to $40,000), effectively receiving money from the government? Our LLC is only owned by my husband and myself. It is a pass-through LLC and presented on our personal tax returns. If net income was made, it would be presented on our personal tax returns. Can this credit be taken and reduce/increase our total personal tax return? Thank you!

My client is a landlord and their CPA is adjusting their income to straight-line rent. In my opinion, this type of adjustment is only appropriate for the tenant. Please advise.

Tax Filing Tips

Name Change

I legally changed my name during 2023. Am I able to file taxes with one of my W2s and my 1098-T form being issued in my old name and one W2 being issued in my new name? Or will I need to make sure all institutions issuing me forms have my new name? All will have my same SSN.
