Answer: first of all you are not established enough for an LLC to be of much value to you except cost money
if your business has not had any income, all your expenses prior to actually opening the business are preopening expenses and will be amortized over a 5 yr period when you do file
go to www.irs.gov and request a Publication 34 for small businesses
