Well....you know the drill....I'm not giving you legal or tax or even insurance advice but there were advantages for me in my opinion of owning some rental as a Sole Proprietor and I have the umbrella...I've never made a liability claim against any policy but, again, I have the umbrella.

My question is since I have done this with out a LLC and am a sole proprietor is it worth creating a DBA?

Hey all, I have a very high level tax strategy question / hypothetical as a sole proprietor LLC.

I have been filing each LLC partnership return (1065) and the rental income would go on our personal returns. 1) Should I put all houses under single-member sole proprietor so that I don't have to file a partnership return (1065) for each home and the rental income just reported on the Schedule E of my 1040?

Will having 2 members california LLC still benefit from new Trump's sole proprietor tax deduction code from last week?

You are considered a sole proprietor from a tax standpoint.
