You'll utilize Schedule C's for each business entity. You'll want to use an identical FEIN for each, assuming that you have been assigned same. If some of your entities are missing FEIN's, just leave that box blank.
Good luck!
Hi I am an international student, I missed filing tax form 8843 for the past two years (as I had no source of income from the US).
I am considering filing it now but very worried about the repercussions.
Do I file it now?
answered on Oct 30, 2018
Yes, file the required forms. The issue is not that you're late in filing your required tax documents; it's more important that you comply late as opposed to never. Unless you're attempting to file a fraudulent return, I cannot think of any circumstances where you'll get in... View More

It may be best to sell it after you have filed for Bankruptcy. Selling it shortly beforehand could trigger an inquiry from the Court. Assuming that the proceeds are exempt under either State or Federal statute, there's no reason that it'd be too cumbersome to file a Motion to Sell Real... View More

The judgment would have been discharged by this Debtor's bankruptcy, but only with respect to services rendered or debts incurred *prior to* the bankruptcy filing. If any of the services/debts incurred were rendered after the bankruptcy case was filed, these particular debts would not have... View More

With all due respect, if the debts were settled, no one would be contacting you in reference to debts. Consider consulting with an attorney in reference to this matter - there are probably additional tasks to be completed before these debts are, in fact, settled.

If you were my client, I'd advise you to start over with the new mortgage servicer. I'm not certain what there is to "litigate" with respect to your case, but most decisions favorable to borrowers are overturned by an appellate court. Thus, it would likely behoove you to... View More

If you signed a contract, you are liable for the terms contained within the four corners of each page. If you did not, then you are not liable.

Yes, but Summons/Complaint do, as well. Both need to be answered, so you should open the envelope, either way around.
