Get your taxes done using TurboTax

There are several ways to treat a business that is owned by a married couple. It depends on the type of business structure, and whether you live in a community property state.


Is your business a corporation (C corp or S corp), an LLC, a partnership, or none of those? Are you and your husband the only owners?


What state do you live in?


Do you plan to file a joint tax return?


You might want to consult a local tax professional or business lawyer, or both of those, to discuss what kind of business structure is best for you.
