Sending tax documents on an LLC incorporated 2 weeks before 2020
Hello Everyone,
A few months ago I entered into the whole world of investing in Rentals and because I want to have more than just 2-3 properties in my portfolio in the next years, I decided to establish an LLC.
I established in on December 17th, 2019 but I didn't have any transaction or anything with the LLC until February 2020 when I bought my first rental.
I am of course decided to do a search for a CPA that will help me out with my goals and of course to help me with taxes. After talking with a few, some of them advised me to send tax documents (I don't what is the right term in English so forgive me about that :)) on my LLC for 2019 and some told me that it's ok not to send because I didn't have any activity on my LLC in 2019...
The one that advised me to do send, told me that if I won't send and the IRS will audit me, I could pay a fee of 25,000$!!
So from your experience, what do you think I should do?

Is it just a single member LLC?
If so it doesn't have a filing requirement.
If it is a corporation (C corp or S corp) it may still need to file a return, those were due 3/16.
If it's a partnership (LLC with 2+ people) if it had no income or expense it may not need to file.
