If you are the only member of the LLC, then there is no special reporting on a 1065 or other return.  The income and expenses go on a Schedule C on your 1040.  You and the LLC are one.  If you are doing training to better your job, such as getting a license in another state in the same career you are in, but meeting the state licensing to expand, that would be deductible.  If you are getting a degree or training to allow you to start the business or that is not improving what you already have, that would not be deductible. 

 

"To be deductible, your expenses must be for education that (1) maintains or improves skills needed in your present work or (2) your employer or the law requires to keep your present salary, status or job. However, even if the education meets either of these tests, the education can't be part of a program that will qualify you for a new trade or business or that you need to meet the minimal educational requirements of your present trade or business." Topic 513

This income will be reported on Schedule C which is part of your overall tax return. This also means you will be subject to SE Tax.   it may be a good idea to make  quarterly estimated payments to cover your SE taxes of 15.3% and avoid penalties.

 

If you have health insurance through a non-employer, you may also be able to deduct your health insurance premiums as a business deduction. The Self-Employed Health Insurance deduction is limited to your earnings.  Meaning, you cannot deduct more than you earned. This is also entered in the business expense section.
