Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, that works.

 

A few things to double-check~

1. It is best to close the old Schedule C and start a new Schedule C. 

  • Unless your goal is to aggregate businesses
  • Depreciation of any assets in the old business should be stopped by marking all as converted to personal use; the new company, if still using these assets, should depreciate only the remaining life of the asset. If Section 179 was used, it must be recaptured.
  • The old business should have been identified as disposed of in the Business Profile section. From the Business Income and Expenses area, follow these steps:
    • Business Profile click Update
    • Scroll down (fourth "Edit") to Disposed of Business in Current Year the year the old business was disposed of and click Edit.

2. A shortcut to updating Form 8995 would be to delete the old form.

  • From the Forms view, click Open Forms
  • Type in Form 8995 and click to open
  • On the bottom of the window, click Delete a Form 

3. Return to the Business Tab in Step-By-Step. Revisit your input for the year to generate a new Form 8995.
