I have been working full time on this business.
Do you have a written agreement with your partner such as a Shareholders' Agreement, Operating Agreement or Employment Agreement? If not, you need to reach some understanding with your partner that you can't work for nothing?

You need to obtain a certificate of authority in order to do business in Florida. You can receive subscription from anywhere. A business attorney is who you should talk to about the details.

purchasing a company and forming a new tax ID and name to rebrand company. Am i liable for any previous tax burdens or IRS audits?
If you have a new EIN, you did not purchase a company. You purchased business assets. You are not liable for its previous tax burdens or IRS audits.
I should add that the person would be a witness at court so they could be asked about it.
There are many exceptions to the hearsay rule, and some of them provide that a statement is admissible if the person who said it is present in court. But it would depend on what was published, as well as what the statement would be offered to prove.
That is not a do-it-yourself project. While you are not required to hire an attorney to draft the contract, you would be extremely unwise not to do so.
I have a perpetual license for an industry specific design software. We've always been forced to pay a yearly maintenance/support fee. Even if we missed a year becasue we didn't need it, they'd back charge us when we wanted to re-institute the support. Now the company has moved to a... Read more »

What protection is needed?
To start, you'd need to be more protective and discrete about your business ideas without disseminating them on the internet. And if you believe in your idea, you'd need to include legal costs as part of your start-up costs.
Good luck.
I'd like to open a DC comics-themed restaurant, do I need to buy a license from them, even though most of the characters are not listed for Hotels and Restaurants?

I need to refi the partnership property but can't due to lien on the LLC still shown on county records as owner. My attorney says since I didn't record quut claim its not legal but everything I read says it is. Is it?
The execution (signing/notarizing) of a deed legally effectuates the transfer, and the recording of the deed is to put the world on notice of the transfer. When it comes to liens, the order of recording can determine the priority of the liens. Ask your attorney to fully explain to you, and or... Read more »

Depends

The IRS would not accept our 2020 tax filing because one was already filed. Our 3rd Stimulus check was also stolen because our CPA was hacked. She later informed me of this and said some of her other client's data was also stolen and used. She should have adequate cyber security in place... Read more »
You said "She should have adequate cyber security in place". Do you have reasons to believe she does not and the fact that she does not caused the hack?
These are key findings to determine whether you have a cause of action based on negligence.
I have been looking to purchase a business and I have to go through paranoid brokers with 9 page NDA's that tell you that they are liable for nothing (must be nice).
