I started a LLC to own and lease commercial property, how are income and expenses reported

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?

It is a single-member LLC organized in WI

[Howard1948 · Accepted solution]

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.

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).
