Business & farm

Yes. My use of the word "required" is wrong there. Typically, and of course depending on the precise date the business was officially open, it's possible and somewhat probable the business incurred expenses that may not qualify as "start up" costs. But yes, for a single member LLC if you have no income or expenses to report, outside of startup costs, then there's really no need to file the SCH C.
