No, you will file a return in the year you begin business operations.  You have most probably incurred "start-up costs" for your business and those start-up expenses will be reported on your first business return. 

The following provides more information about business start-up costs you'll want to keep in mind for your first business return. https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/5778960
