I notionally had a business idea that I planned to operate as a sole proprietorship this past year while ascertaining its full viability to generate revenue. It does have an EIN associated with it, but otherwise is not a registered functioning business and has generated no income to date. It does have expenses associated with it, mainly marketing costs incurred.
Would this be something I still need to file and report on my schedule C anyway? If there are only losses and no income associated with it and it's not a registered business entity outside of the affiliated EIN?
