Two clients formed an LLC registered with a Brooklyn, NY address. It's recognized as a partnership for IRS purposes. Their only business is an online podcast which they earn revenue for through streaming contracts--no physical studio, no events, no merchandise sold, etc. DO THEY HAVE TO FILE A NYC-204 FOR 2020???

     I bet NYC thinks so.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.

    I’m thinking the same thing. I’ll just file it regardless; it’s a no liability return, so no harm done if it’s unnecessary. 

    I've yet to find a tax expert who understands these little nuances pertaining to online services and the instructions seem to talk around the situation.

    Where do the clients' butts sit? Where are the computers they use?

    I'm guessing they didn't pick Brooklyn out of thin air.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
