So this year my husband and I started an LLC as we got the opportunity to run a coffee shop. Long story short, the owners who leased it to us lied about their books and the business was not able to sustain itself so we broke the contract, and got out of the agreement unscathed. However, we did have one week of business expenses during the Q2 quarter ONLY. The business had no more expenses (such as payroll, unemployment, social security) going through after June 16th, which I know the end of Q2 is June 30th. By that point, our LLC had no income, no more payroll, or anything. We were late on paying our taxes due to some personal matters that caused us to be late on it; however, we scheduled an appointment with a tax professional who helped us get the majority of our tax bills such as payroll and federal paid, and we just paid state our selves today. In addition to this, we filed our FINAL return which was for Q2 only that our professional helped us with and he marked it so on our documents that they were all the final returns that we were doing and paying, and we sent them off to dissolve the business.
So earlier today, my husband saw from our QuickBooks that we are getting a penalty for not paying Q3 taxes, even though the LLC had no business activity from the middle of June onward. Do we have to file anything for Q3, and what will our fees be for not doing so even though the LLC had no income after that one week in Q2? We are very worried about this cause we just want this to be done and no longer have this over our shoulders, so please any answers would be much appreciated.
