small business

    (USA) I am a small business LLC owner, I forgot to file my form 1065, how do I file this after the fact and is there any way to not get a giant fine?

    Any info about best ways to file my 1065 and add it to the taxes I already submitted (used Turbotax but printed and sent by mail to the IRS) would be super helpful. It's me and one other partner but I am the majority owner of the business. I had no idea a 1065 existed as this is my first year...

    USPS losing checks in the mail like crazy it seems

    Is USPS driving anyone else crazy? They are losing outbound checks from my business at an increasing pace, and it's getting really annoying. I am just curious if a) anyone else is seeing this same issue, and b) what, if anything, you are doing about it. A little background... I run a small...

    Do the 8 weeks forgiveness period start at date of funding? Or is it any 8 week period within 6 months?

    I have a problem (high quality, admittedly), where my PPP is approved and I have the documents to sign, but my next payroll is on the 1st. (We do 1st and 15). If I receive funding before the 27th of April, 8 weeks will not include my June 15th payroll, and that will be 30k I had used to...
