Yes, that's right. If your start date is January 1, 2024, you don't need to include your LLC on your tax return until next year. 

 

I am assuming that you had no business income and no expenses other than start-up costs.

 

If both of those are true, you can just include your 2023 start up expenses on your 2024 tax return.

 

Start-up expenses are the expenses you incur before you actually begin business operations. Your business start-up costs will depend on the type of business you are starting. 

 

They may include:

 

  • Costs for research, advertising, travel, surveys, and training. 
  • Costs for setting up the business location.
  • Organizational costs for setting up a business entity, including, legal costs, licenses, permits, etc.

 

You can elect to deduct up to $10,000 of business start-up costs and up to $5,000 of organizational costs.
