Since you are a single-member LLC, you would not need to file a partnership return under normal circumstances.
In this case, you will need to do something to make sure that the IRS is not looking for a partnership return from the LLC. Since you will need to include the LLC income and expenses on your personal return, you should not file a 1065 for 2016.
Probably the quickest way to sort this out would be to get a copy of the 2015 1065 that was filed and go to your local IRS office (Please see this website (https://www.irs.gov/help-resources/contact-your-local-irs-office) to locate your local IRS office.)
If you are unable to do this, you should file an amended 2015 Form 1065 (the form is at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/f1065--2015.pdf), marking it as a Final return and as an Amended return. Since it was a $0 return, you will not need to fill in any of the income or expense sections. Write across the first page "Single-member LLC - no partnership return required", and file it with the address listed on page 4 of the instructions (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-prior/i1065--2015.pdf)
You will then include all of the LLC income (including the amounts reported under your social security number) using schedule C on your personal return (1040).
To get to the input screens for your LLC:
- Once signed into your account, click on Search at the top of the screen
- Input "schedule c" into the search box and hit Enter
- The first link available should be Jump to schedule c - click on this link
- You will be taken to the screens to enter your income, business information, and expenses
Note: You should provide the payers with a new W-9 (https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf) to update their information to issue payments (and future 1099-MISCs) to the LLC.
