FAQs
1. My LLC had little or no revenue. Do I still need to file a business return?
Many owners are surprised to learn that they must file a return even when revenue is zero, especially for C‑corps (1120), S‑corps (1120S), and partnerships (1065). Aventa Tax reviews your entity type and prior elections to determine what must be filed and prepares “zero” returns when required to keep you compliant.
​
2. How do I know if I should file 1120, 1120S, 1065, or just a Schedule C?
Reddit threads are full of confusion over whether a new business should file as a partnership, S‑corp, or C‑corp. Aventa Tax looks at ownership, how you formed the business, and any S‑election you may have filed to select the correct form and avoid IRS mismatch notices.
​
3. I’m closing my business. Is there a “final” business return?
Closing businesses usually need to file a final 1065 or 1120S and indicate that the return is final; disregarded entities reported on Schedule C generally do not have a “final return” check box. Aventa Tax walks you through the last year’s filings and any remaining Maryland and local obligations so you can shut things down cleanly.
​
4. What if I missed the March or April filing deadline?
Owners often post asking what happens when they miss the 1065 or 1120S March deadline or the April deadline for individual returns with Schedule C. Aventa Tax can file late returns, request penalty relief when appropriate, and design a plan to get you back on track.
​
5. Do I really need quarterly estimated taxes for my small business?
Many small business owners with fluctuating income wonder if they can “just wait until tax time.” In many cases, the IRS and Maryland expect quarterly payments, and Aventa Tax calculates those estimates so you avoid underpayment penalties while protecting your cash flow.
