Hello @kurthjulie,

 

To answer your second question, I would definitely recommend opening up a business bank account specifically for the new LLC.  Also, I would recommend paying for any expenses through the business bank account/business credit card.  This will allow you to keep track of the business expenses and avoid any commingling of personal/business expenses.  If you have not already, you will need to acquire an employer identification number (EIN) from the IRS in order to obtain a business bank account.  You can do so at the link below:

Second, since you are a single member LLC, you are considered a disregarded entity by the IRS for tax purposes.  What this means, in layman's terms, is that you do not have to file a partnership/tax return for the LLC.  You will report all of the income and expenses from the LLC directly on your individual income tax return, Schedule C.   

 

Thanks,
