If the LLC is filing as a partnership or sole-proprietorship and has no income or expenses then there is no requirement to file a return.  If it is an S_Corp and has received approval from the IRS then you must file a return - even if it's all zeros - in order to maintain your S-Corp status.  Otherwise, you only need to file if you had any expenses (not including 'start up costs') for 2024 in order to capture those expenses.  

 

Here is the definition of start up costs.
