Turbo Tax cannot provide legal advice nor should you rely on anyone other than an attorney to provide legal advice. You can probably let the LLC be administratively dissolved. Good luck.

Q: If I cosign an apartment lease for my soon to be ex wife how will that effect my signing a lease for my own apartment?

I do understand the gravity of cosigning. She makes more than enough to pay the rent. They require proof of 3x rent in monthly income which she cannot meet. I have no worries about her paying and we both have excellent credit. Thank you
