If our rental is owned in my spouse and I's name, do file as a sole proprietor or partnership?

You'll want to make sure you understand the K1/tax filing implications because if you own very small piece of let's say 10 properties in 10 different states you would potentially receive 10 K1s (one for each deal) and 'may' have tax filing requirements in 10 states. 

You then file the annual report each year and continue to fork over another $500 annually.Next "cheapest" will be legal zoom or a similar service, I believe they'll help roll the registration with the state into the start up package.I use "cheapest" in quotes - the primary purpose of an LLC is typically to provide some level of asset protection. 

I filed eviction and got writ possession but sheriff office is saying the next available date is in September.

check with a local attorney there are rules for filing liens of course anyone can file them but that does not mean they were filed legally.. in most states you have to give a PRE lien notice in writing and by certified mail.. you have time limits to file it.. so if they try to cloud your title they are taking a risk of slander of title. not that they have any money to pay if they lose but you can fire back with that if you need to.

But, I don't want to lose my house, nor do I want to file bankruptcy so I shall keep searching. 

The standard deduction is currently 14,600, or 29,200 if married filing jointly. 

This way, the operating LLC operates under the umbrella of the holding company LLC, resulting in two separate Secretary of State filing numbers.To proceed, you would open a second bank account under the name Holding Co LLC, doing business as Operating LLC.

Add a couple of days for mail to get there and then you can file whether they sign for the certified or not.

We would like to keep the operating revenue and expenses separate from our personal stuff but want to file them along with our personal tax returns.
