If I am in an LLC with my spouse and he owes child support does it take away from my percentage of profits? Also where do I list what percentage of the business he has vs me and how do we file our business income if filing as an injured spouse.

Ok ... you REALLY need to sit down with a local tax pro to get educated on your business & personal income tax situations since you have mixed apples, oranges and pears in the same question. First the "we" have an LLC part depends on many factors like where you live and how the partnership was set up ... the answer to this portion alone could go on for hours. Education on how to set up and keep the bookkeeping records also need discussion if you do this incorrectly it can cost you down the road.
And the injured spouse is only a part of your personal tax return and if you do not have a refund then it is not even needed. Again seek local assistance.
I guess it sound more difficult than intended. It’s actually a pretty simple question. My husband and I have an LLC business. We typically get a refund back and I file injured spouse. With this year being the first year with an LLC, and both of us being owners I was asking what form do we file and is there anywhere to list what percentage each of us own.
So am I correct in assuming you are aware that a multi-member LLC files it's own physically separate IRS Form 1065 Partnership Return?
Each partner is then issued their own physically separate K-1 by the multi-member LLC, and each partner uses that K-1 to complete their personal 1040 tax return. It does not matter that the two partners are married to each other and filing joint.
So this will not change the fact that you may still need to file injured spouse with your personal 1040 tax return.
Also be aware that the 1065 Partnership Return is due March 15th. The late filing penalty is $200 per month, per partner. I'm making you aware of this because if you think it's the same as the personal return and you're late, with two owners that's an instant $400 late filing penalty for the first month.
U
nderstand that having a lien on your taxes for back child support *WILL* *NOT* affect the partnership on the tax front, since it's just basically a pass-through entity. But it *WILL* *NOT* *CHANGE* the need to file injured spouse with the poersonal 1040 joint return, if necessary.
Finally, if you live in a community property state who you split the profits via the K-1's you will each be issued with make no difference in what you can claim on injured spouse. It's 50/50. If you do not live in a community property state, then based on the fact the partners are married, if you don't split your profits 50/50 across the two K-1's, that will at best, raise eyebrows at the IRS. At worse, the IRS will adjust your taxes accordingly to "make" it a 50/50 split.
Thanks for the info! I am assuming turbo tax makes this process pretty easy when filing by giving it’s usual step by step instructions hopefully.
So you will be filing a separate 1065 Business return? The first year you should really go to a CPA and get it done right. Or will you try to use Turbo Tax?
Turbo Tax Business is not available to do online or on a Mac. You can buy the Window's version here. And you can have both TT Business and TT Home & Business (or any personal version) installed on your computer at the same time.
