It looks like we have a variety of opinions. Let's look to the IRS for answers.  Small Business QJV states: "How to report federal income tax as a qualified joint venture (including self-employment tax) Spouses electing qualified joint venture status are treated as sole proprietors for federal tax purposes...If an EIN is required, the filing spouse should complete a Form SS-4 and request an EIN as a sole proprietor."   Interpretation: Under a Qualified Joint Venture, you and your spouse are treated as two separate sole proprietorships for income tax purposes. An EIN is technically tied to a specific "entity" or individual. When your husband applied for the EIN to act as the Plan Sponsor for the 5500-EZ, he applied as a Sole Proprietor. The Reporting: Because the EIN is attached to his name/SSN in the IRS database, putting it on your Schedule C can trigger a "mismatch" error. The IRS computers expect that EIN to be associated with the primary applicant (your husband). If your husband applied for the EIN in the name of the business, see Election for married couples unincorporated businesses The above is all assuming this is not a community property state (where an LLC is allowed)

Thank you! On Part 4 of Form 3115, question 26: If I am trying to account for prior tax years of not claiming depreciation, would the number (catch up adjustment) on this line be a positive or negative number? Much appreciated!

You are filing with both states, one as a resident and the other as a nonresident.  Prepare your nonresident state first. There will not be double tax however review the details below to understand how it works for your situation.    Rhode Island (RI) and Massachusetts (MA) do not have a reciprocal tax agreement. As a result, if you live in one state and work in the other, you are generally required to file tax returns in both states, though you can usually claim a credit in your home state for taxes paid to the other.   State Returns - Your resident state requires you to include all worldwide income. Assume both states require income tax returns to be filed:  Report the income on each state return that is from the nonresident state Report it on your resident state and receive credit for taxes paid to another state. Credit for taxes paid to another state is allowed by a resident state when the same income is being taxed to another state.  Your resident state does not want you to pay tax twice on the same income. The credit that is allowed will be the lesser of: the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state In most cases complete your nonresident state first.

Is Ohio the only state involved with your Federal income tax return?  Or are there other states?  Please clarify.   If Ohio is the only state involved with your Federal income tax return, and a value is required to proceed, enter the value of box 2a into box 16.   @Graybeard76
