Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@ Ing22392 It doesn't really matter whether you start filing as a sole proprietorship. As far as the IRS is concerned, you are reporting the business activity and paying any taxes due. In fact, filing as sole proprietorship is not to your benefit which means you are assuming 100% of the entity's tax obligation.

 

When you ready to include your husband in filing the business, then the tax situation becomes a little complicated as you will introduce him into the partnership by creating his own capital account and report the activity of the business by filing a 1065 return. At that point you will not revert to filing a schedule C back again until one of two things happen 1) You dissolve the business or 2) The partnership ends due to a list of many other reasons.
