Are K-1's and a 1065 needed for a FL LLC with Husband and Wife as Members?

Hello All,
In 2017 I started a new LLC in Florida. I also added my Wife as a member. We are married and file jointly.

Do I need to submit a 1065 for the Business and issue K-1s if we are the only two members and we will file jointly again this year?
If it matters, the business made $0.00 (Nothing in and Nothing Out)

In hindsight I either wouldn't have started the business, or not have my wife listed.

Thanks in advance for your help.

If it matters, the business made $0.00 (Nothing in and Nothing Out)In hindsight I either wouldn't have started the business, or not have my wife listed.========>no difference;aslongas you set it up as a MMLLC, I mean a partnership, But even though an inactive LLC has no income or expenses for a year, it might still be required to file a federal income tax return. LLC tax filing requirements depend on the way the LLC is taxed. An LLC may be disregarded as an entity for tax purposes, or it may be taxed as a partnership or a corporation.Unless you hire your spouse as your employee you do not need to issue her a W2 but you are still a soleowner and need to file Scjh Cof 1040 even if your biz has net operating losses to claim the biz related expenses on your return.
