My husband created an LLC last year but did not have any activity. Do I need to file any forms with my personal taxes?

No, if there was no income, there is no reason to include anything. If he had start-up expenses, he may be able to take them.

Start-up costs are those expenses incurred in planning and setting up the business, costs you incur before you open the door.

A portion of startup and organizational costs can be expensed (written off in your first year). The remainder can be amortized (written off over a period of 15 or more years).

Here is how it works:

Expenses paid or incurred after October 22, 2004:

- You can deduct up to $5,000 in startup and $5,000 organizational costs as current expenses if the costs are under $50,000, respectively.

- You can choose to amortize startup and organizational costs greater than $5,000, respectively, (but less than $50,000, respectively) over a period of 15 years.

- If your startup or your organizational costs are more than $50,000, respectively, the excess amount reduces the amount you can deduct.

Note: A cash-basis business cannot deduct or write off (amortize) these costs until they are actually paid.

Follow these steps to go to the Schedule C section of your return:

On the top right corner of TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner).

Type in “schedule c” (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find).
Click on “Jump to schedule c”.
Click on the blue “Jump to schedule c” link
