A single-member LLC is considered a "disregarded entity" for purposes of filing a Federal income tax return.  It is treated exactly the same as a sole proprietorship.  The single-member includes all the income and expenses of the LLC in his or her personal Federal income tax return on Form 1040 reporting them on Schedule C.

I am not familiar with Wisconsin tax law so you should check with local sources on how this is handled.  Many states start with Federal AGI which means that the Schedule C information is usually already included in this starting point.

The answer depends on how your LLC is organized.  Is it:  a single-member LLC, a multi-member LLC, a multi-member LLC where the only two members are husband and wife and you live in a Community Property state, an LLC that you have elected to be taxed as a C corporation or an LLC that you have elected to be taxed as an S corporation?

My interpretation is that the OP is going to rent out the property.  If that is the case, the commerical property is reported as a rental property on Schedule E (not Schedule C).
