That’s the exact faq I used to find where to get assistance when I couldn’t find the answer and then proceeded to press the tax expert button in the app which they then called me and led to interaction with the first person. I have a really hard time believing a tax expert would utterly refuse assistance with out access to my computer and then proceed to hang up 

Hope this helps.    If you are not showing a loss on Schedule C. Some expenses, such as home office or section 179 depreciation can only be used to reduce your schedule C taxable income to zero, and not to create a loss. Excess deductions for these carry over to the next year. And you have to answer yes to both questions about exclusive and regular use, not just one. The area of your home office must be used regularly and exclusively for business to deduct it.   Or you checked the box on 32b saying Some Investment is Not at Risk. If you have money not at risk you can not take a loss on schedule C. If you don't know what it means then probably All your Investment is at Risk (check Box 32a). It means you are using your own money for the business. People usually check the wrong box.

You only need to file Form 8832 to become a disregarded entity.  There is no "revocation" needed.   Double check that you are eligible to make the election to become a disregarded entity.  Your S-election would have needed to either be 60 months ago or was effective on the date the LLC was formed.

I know your question is several years old now, but I would suggest keeping the mileage for each business separate, even if it is just for your own records. In my case, my vehicles are my business as I own a limo company, do Uber occasionally, and rent cars out on Turo. Mine is simple enough that both 3rd party incomes just pay my LLC directly, and it is pass through income for me anyway, but I do like being able to go back later, down the road, and see how much of my vehicle expenses were from each revenue stream, so I know how profitable they were and if I'm using my assets productively.   Many years ago I got a paper mileage log from an author named Sandy Botkin. He has tax books available on Amazon for like $20, and I highly recommend buying the one that fits your particular business, as they have saved me thousands over the years. Anyway, in his paper log, he divides each trip into either business, commuting, or personal use. When I originally made a spreadsheet, I literally just copied his paper logs into Excel, since that was the format I was used to. Now that I'm self employed, I eliminated the commuting columns since I have nowhere to commute to, but I added columns for each revenue stream. Then when I do my taxes, I just add the columns together to give me my total business mileage.    Sorry, that was fairly long winded, and only halfway answered your question, but I figured it might help with bookkeeping going forward, even though it didn't answer the original question on how to file. But if you did decide to file mileage separately, it would be easy to figure out what percentage of business use was attributed to each business.

Form 1-A is available. I used it for Tips and it works.  I'm using Windows desktop. Turbotax says its avaialble for all platforms. If it's not working, check your entries. If you have desktop, you can review the Schedule in forms mode. Not sure about online. You may have to pay any fees before you can review or print it.
