Many small business owners start off as a sole proprietor or with partnerships, often deciding to incorporate as a company increases in business and profit. An unincorporated small business tax return is reported on additional schedule (s) of your personal tax return. Your revenues and expenses must be reported on a Statement of Business Activities and the accumulated net income is what will be considered when determining your tax liability.

The final return of the deceased taxpayer will include all components that fall within their personal tax return, however, this tax return covers the period from January 1st, to the date of death. This is known as the Final Return although in most cases, it is not the last return that needs to be filed.
