But when it comes to choosing or creating investments that will produce a return along with personal fulfillment or enjoyment, then I say it definitely matters what you invest in and where you invest.  

If you go with the partnership route1) You need to manage the money going in and out of the business bank account.2) File a partnership return and be responsible for issuing K-1's3) make distributions to you and your partner for cash flow that you receiveYou will likely spend many hours on a nice gesture.I may want to consider instead to give a christmas gift or a bonus for early completion of projects.

Last year I spend $9500 additional in bookkeeping (not including my accountant or tax filing.)

If it is, explain your situation and ask to file a complaint.

But make sure you make a file labeled "why I intended to hold this and what changed".

It depends what basis you are filing under.
