Transition form Sole Proprietorship to LLC

In prior tax years, I reported two separate sole proprietorships.  Mid way through 2021, I filed paperwork which combines these into a single owner LLC that covers all of the activities that were performed in the separate sole proprietorships.  Any advice on how to account for this transition on the present year's taxes?

Transition form Sole Proprietorship to LLC

Some comments:

  • You don't provide many facts on the transaction.
  • Did you have EIN's for each sole proprietorship?
  • Did you get a new EIN for the combined proprietorship?
  • Did each proprietorship have assets that you were depreciating or were fully depreciated?
  • Do you have employees?
  • Do you have activity in other states where you have been filing as a nonresident as a result of either proprietorship?
  • A sole proprietorship and single member LLC are handled the same on your tax return.

Also keep in mind the date of replies, as tax law changes.

Transition form Sole Proprietorship to LLC

  • I did not have an EIN for either of the sole proprietorships, but I do have one for the new combined LLC.  One of the sole proprietorships was primarily for services provided by me and the other was for sale of goods that were produced by me.  There is some overlap and hence the decision to combine the two.  They were both reported on Schedule C previously
  • I do have assets that were depreciating in both of the sole proprietorships
  • I do not have any employees
  • I do not have activity in other states where I was filing as a nonresident

I appreciate any insight that you might have

even with one  LLC, different activities have to be reported separately.
