Hey guys, tax time is coming up and I could use a little bit of advice. I am planning to speak to an accountant but that is easier said than done this time of year. I had very little income last year as I was in the process of starting what has essentially been a failure of an app business. Total expenditure/losses on the business was in the neighborhood of $15k. I am now in the process of launching another venture and for the time being leaving the failed business behind. Filing my Federal and state w2's from my other work is a straightforward process and I should get back everything that was withheld, but I am wondering what to do regarding that $15,000 loss from the failed LLC. Can I carry that loss forward and deduct it from future earnings from a different LLC? Do I need to note that loss on my tax filing this year? Any advice would be very much appreciated. I am probably going to file for an extension if I can't get this sorted out quickly.

Thanks
