I have recently dissolved my single member LLC. Last year I filed a schedule C with my own return. When I file for 2019 do I also file the schedule C and is there a place to note that it will be a final return?  Are there any other forms I need to file with the IRS to close the single member LLC?

    Yes there is a question if it is a FINAL schedule C.  I think it puts the word Final at the top of Sch C.

     

    If you need to close a business schedule C, see this article on closing a business

    Are you using Online or Desktop program?  Here are 3 screens.  See, there is a place for Disposed of, etc.  The first 2 are from the Home & Business Desktop program and the 3rd one is from Online.  Online says Stopped work in 2018.

    The word FINAL will NOT be on the Sch C anywhere ... but in the program you MUST indicate it is the FINAL Sch C so the program will stop depreciating the assets and ask you to sell or retire them  AND  more important the Sch C will not be carried to next tax year.  The IRS will know the business has closed simply by the lack of the Sch C form in the return ... nothing else is needed.

    In addition, you may need to complete a filing with your state of domicile indicating that the business has ceased.  Typically this is with the Secretary of State.
