Self Employed 1099 LLC Sole Proprietor loss business income.

In the past 10 years or so I have been supplementing my social security as a contracted consultant for a company I retired from because of my skill set.  I've been earning about $40K-$50K each year.  The company has informed me as a result of their COVID impact, my services for 2021 have been absorbed in house.  Sadly I will miss the income.  But plan to enjoy total retirement.

 

I would appreciate any advice or guidance on how I should deal with closing down this business year of 2021.   The one and only payment I received this year was $770.   I work from a home office and have been incurring ongoing expenses such as business phone, business internet, business specific software subscriptions etc...  And other issues related to Schedule C and Home Office when operating at a loss.  (I plan to ride it out through December.)

 

Thank you,

 

Steve
