It will depend upon the terms of the agreements that you signed. If your work will be given to the highest bidder, and you want to stop it, you are going to have to go into court with an order to show cause ASAP.

It depends if there is a separate tax ID for each, and if the LLC is a single member LLC owned by the sole proprietor. The tax filings are the most important issue.

No. A corporation can declare any quarter as its tax year. It does not matter.
Can they have the same name- so it would be easier for my clients?
Also- if I dissolve NJ within the first month of 2017 - do I have to still pay the minimum tax for the entire year?
Would really appreciate your help!!!!

The initiative will consist of:
- A website
- Paid staff
- Donations-based income
I have looked into non-profits and NGOs and, since the main output of the initiative will be information, neither of these seem to apply.

You are mixing legal terms. A sole proprietor is the opposite of a corporation. A corporation might have a sole shareholder. If that is what you mean and the individual is not a defendant, then there is no statutory stay of the case. Who has authority to act will be determined by the bylaws, or... View More

The question is extremely difficult to answer since you'll need to look into the laws of each state. Most states however have a provision for any license to be assigned without the necessity of starting from scratch, it's usually a more limited form that includes the assignor... View More
