Last year my business made no money and I bought no supplies. Do I still need to do a business income tax?

What type of business entity do you have?

It depends.

 

If your business had no income and no expense in 2020 and if it is a sole proprietorship or a LLC taxed as a partnership, then you are not required to file a Schedule C (for a sole proprietorship) or a tax return (form 1065 for a LLC).

 

If your business is taxed as a S-Corp, then you are required to file a tax return (form 1120S).
