아래와 같은 주의사항이 있습니다.Husband-Wife Business
Generally, if your and your spouse jointly own and operate an
unincorporated business and share in the profits and losses,
you are partners in a partnership, whether or not you have a formal
partnership agreement. Do not use Schedule C or C-EZ. Instead,
file Form 1065. See Pub. 541 for more details.깜짝 놀라서(터보텍스를 이미 구입했거든요)
다시 IRS에 들어가서 Publication 541을 찾아보니
아래와 같이 되어 있습니다.Community property. A husband and wife who own a qualified entity
(defined later) can choose to classify the entity as a partnership for
federal tax purposes by filing the appropriate partnership tax returns.
They can choose to classify the entity as a sole proprietorship by
filing a Schedule C (Form 1040) listing one spouse as the sole proprietor. A change in reporting position will be treated for
federal tax purposes as a conversion of the entity.
A qualified entity is a business entity that meets all the following
requirements.
· The business entity is wholly owned by a husand and wife as community
property under the laws of a state, a foreign countury, or a possession
of the United States.
· No person other than one or both spouses would be considered an
owner for fedral tax purposes.
· The business entity is not treated as a corporation.그렇다면, 1040 스케줄C로 보고해도 되는 건가요?
