A sole proprietor is someone who owns an unincorporated business by themselves. If you are the sole member of a domestic limited liability company (LLC) and elect to treat the LLC as a corporation, you are not a sole proprietor.
Elect to treat your LLC as S Corp, the include the K-1 from the S corp on your personal tax return. 楼主既然自己要做小生意，还是了解一下基本的税务常识比较好 剔透玲珑 发表于 2025-06-05 13:24

It''''s probably too late for Tax Year 2024. However, for 2025, OP really rethink your tax strategy. Instead of Sole Proprietorship, you should form your own LLC (can be multi-member), then apply for EIN from IRS. When you apply for EIN, specify that the company is LLC but you elect to be taxed as an S-Corp. By default, multi-member LLCs are treated as partnerships. should file IRS for 2553 in the beginning of the year. This is technically called Small Business as an LLC (need to register with the secretary of state in your home state), apply for an EIN from IRS (this is different from your SSN), but for tax purpose you file form 2553 , elect to be taxed as an S-Corp. Once the business is S-Corp, you have a lot more room to save on taxes - you can open a SOLO 401K, you need to pay yourself (and your employees) some salary, but only a port of your profit. The rest should be distributed as K-1. This way you only need to pay FICA tax on the salary portion, K-1 income you save on FICA. There is a time limit on when you file Form 2553, like 2.5 months after you apply for EIN. https://www.bench.co/blog/tax-tips/irs-form-2553

你看下CPA怎么给你报的税，感觉CPA是给你1040 married filing separately, 所以要你先生也file married filing separately,这样分开报的话他收入高，tax bracket is higher. CPA might've filed Your business on your schedule c, or used k-1 on your schedule e
算S-corp 的话单独报，file 1020; 收入算分红 加到（家庭收入joint file 1040 ； 好像是这样？ Google: Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S): The S-corp itself files Form 1120-S to report its financial activity to the IRS. As part of this filing, the S-corp provides each shareholder with a Schedule K-1 —-to joint 1040
你们两个今年的税表都用了married filing separately，你们现在可以填一份1040X表寄给IRS把你们的filing status改成married filing jointly，估计你老公会填，不用找CPA。参见 https://support.cch.com/oss/ml/kb/solution/000043578/865 Joint Return After Separate Returns You can change your filing status from a separate return to a joint return by filing an amended return using Form 1040X. You generally can change to a joint return any time within 3 years from the due date of the separate return or returns. This does not include any extensions. A separate return includes a return filed by you or your spouse claiming married filing separately, single, or head of household filing status.
现在我有几个问题想请教懂专业的朋友： 1、我的公司可以单独报税，然后我再和我老公一起报家庭的税吗？ 2、如果1可以，我可以把今年已经报过的税的状况再改成和家里一起报吗？怎么改？ 3、我今年报的税可以取消然后再和家里一起重新报吗？ 4、如果3可以，是需要填1099表格吗？
也就是说，你老公的信息不在你公司的税单上？
如果公司是你一个人的，他当然不用出现在公司的报税上啊。跟他压根就没有关系啊。我觉得你的CPA很不靠谱
我现在的理解是，他不想让我的生意和家里混在一起，就像他自己的生意也是单独报一样，只是当时没说清楚，而且他可能也是没想到会计师给我报税的这个方式，直接就变成他自己报税了。
现在可以取消重新和家里一起报吗？
如果要想修改，用1040-x 再报一次就是了。
可以修改就好，不知道还来不来得及
有时间限制吗？
首先我是一点也不懂报税的事，所以根本不知道要报什么类型的。再者，你说的一点也不错，我老公可能也不很明白这些关系，现在才发现出现了这种情况。问题是如果今年就这样的话，需要补交$8000多再加上预交的（我不知道是多少）就更多了。
你的意思是，1040-x和家庭一起报？还是1040-x单独报，然后我再和家里一起报？另外，1040里是不是不应该有我老公的名字和社安号？
社安金都领了，老头了，你图啥？
他都老头了，我还能年轻吗，何况我去年之前是在家悠闲着的，开个小生意就是闲的无聊，难不成我再出去找工作？
你的意思是我和家庭一起报，然后我的生意在schedule c 这一项里报？那么怎么操作，是不是就不需要和CPA联系了，直接在税务局的网上更改？还是必须CPA要先帮我取消？
现在非常想知道操作过程！
也就是说原来CPA给我报的这份先不管了，在税务局网站上直接更改，然后和我的家庭一起报，然后个人纳税申报表里包括k-1 表格。我理解的对吗？
另外，是不是CPA给我已经报的这份税表根本不能取消只能更改？
用软件填税表的话，可以分开填一次合起来再填一次，算算一起报比分开报省多少钱，然后每人出分开报该出的钱减去那个差额的一半，这样对两人都公平。
建议你找个靠谱的cpa 咨询，网友不了解你的所有情况，也不会对说的事情承担任何责任。

谢谢你的信息。
你先去问下会计吧，single member llc如果不是以s corp报税的，都要是和队友一起报的，TurboTax就可以加llc的收入和w2一起报
可以更改的时间限制到什么时候？
你想放在一起，2024的你的那份让CPA去amend,然后你的公司个人和他的一起放在1040上married jointly. 你的公司single LLC就是schedule C,想单报的话要变成Corp(又要有表格给IRS的）， 如果Scorp还得给自己payroll要求的，省的钱不够给CPA这一整套下来收费的 没必要单独报corp.
可以file late election. 不是啥难事，但要找到靠谱的CPA做，花点钱
是啊，因为我老公当时不要和我一起报，我又不懂，才花钱让会计师做，谁知道为什么他们问我要我老公的信息。我老公准备amend了。
我说的是外行话，见笑了。是在软件上amend。我也问过会计师了，她也是这么说的。
我俩不是AA,他比我挣的多多了，我是沾他的光，花他的钱😂 不知道当时为什么他那么固执。现在好了，还是要他自己弄。
听起来他比你清楚怎么回事儿。
已经递交的报税是没法取消的，只能填1040x去修改，也不是每项都重填，网上下一个1040x表看一下就知道了
Google: Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S): The S-corp itself files Form 1120-S to report its financial activity to the IRS. As part of this filing, the S-corp provides each shareholder with a Schedule K-1 —-to joint 1040
而且让你老公去搞吧，你挣你的小钱享受生活就可以了
这个说的对。LLC在税法上不是一个真正的个体，都是和个人稅表合在一起
楼主说了她是sole prop，所以她不是 s-corp
附议。
今年就不要改了。明年不用CPA了，和老公一起报married file jointly，楼主的收入作为business income计入其中。
他不想再补那么多的税（除了预交的，还要再交$8000多。
那CPA就和她的个人税报了。 还是最好找CPA把两个税表对比一下再修改。

真是啥都不懂。。
你把 1040税表看看， 会不会google?
