Are you a Single Member LLC that did not elect to be a S corp?  If you  are self employed or a SMLLC  (not S corp) you file it on Schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return.  You will need to use the online Premium version or any  of the Desktop installed programs.

 

You can enter Schedule C for Self Employment Income into Online Deluxe but if you have any expenses you will have to upgrade to Premium version. Or use any of the Desktop Download programs.

File one return. As a sole proprietor your LLC income is included on your personal return when you complete Schedule C.
