<P>My wife and I own a side therapy business that generates income two separate ways: Seeing clients under our own company name and also seeing clients as a contractor under another person's larger, more established business. We have an LLC and we know that is a disregarded entity as we are wholly owned by the two of us.</P><P> </P><P>TurboTax is telling us on our Schedule C we should split the profits and losses 50/50 and make two separate businesses. (Community Property State) But, a majority of our income is from a 1099-MISC and we can't split that in two. </P><P> </P><P>If I don't claim the 1099-MISC, I can happily split the profits and losses 50/50 where it all works out in the end. But then I'm not claiming a 1099-MISC, which the IRS is looking for me to claim it. How do I tell the IRS-'Hey we are owning up to our 1099-MISC income without attaching the 1099-MISC? It can't be cut into two.' I know that not claiming a 1099-MISC is a red flag for audits, and I just don't want to wait until the auditor shows up, ruins our lives for a few months as we show the 1099-MISC was split in two under the business's profits.</P><P> </P><P>Thanks</P>

<P>You have two choices.</P>
<P>1. Enter the 1099-MISC on one Schedule C and report 50% as contract labor. Enter that 50% as income on the other Schedule C</P>
<P>2. Enter the 1099-MISC as if it were two separate forms. Split the box amounts in half and enter one into each Schedule C. </P>
<P>The reason you're filing two Schedule C's is not because you are in a community property state, it's so your individual Social Security Accounts are each funded. </P>
<P>The only time you need to worry about splitting income when living in a community property state is when you are filing Married Filing Separately. </P>
