Can I still write off some expenses for last year w/out LLC ?

Many businesses operate as sole proprietorship.The one thing to be concerned about is if the costs you spent last year were "start-up" expenses. if they are - you may need to accumulate them and expense/amortize them when you "start" the business.If you are in the rental real estate business - it won't necessarily matter whether the income is earned under your name or your wife's name since it will be reported on your joint tax return.If you are generating income that is subject to self-employment taxes(flipping or managing real estate); it may make a difference whether the business under your name or your wife's name.if under Wife's name - you may pay more overall self-employment taxes; however, she will be credited with social security being paid in.If you are unhappy with your CPA - There are many CPA's on BP who work with real estate investors remotely.

She left in the bank and now with social security and supplementing each month the money is down years later to about 55,000.People often make decisions based on FEAR of loss.I saw at Publix grocery shopping tonight when we were leaving the store a 70 year old grandma pushing 12 buggies inside from the parking lot working there.90% of the population lives in fear of the unknown.

Having grown up in a minority area of Brooklyn, I can actually speak to both sides of that issue.There was a certain amount of comfort in the social bubble of the community but I moved to long island after having a well paying job for a number of years.
