Question

If you have been a sole proprietorship and you want to get an LLC, can you back date the LLC start date to the date you started the business?

Hi Ketina! 

 

No, normally, the LLC start/effective date is the date your LLC goes into existence, the date when the formation documents are filed with the state, making it your effective date. For tax purposes, a single member LLC and a sole proprietor file exactly the same way and the same tax implications apply to both.
