You do not give enough detail in your question for me to answer it.

A short consultation would probably give you the information you need; if you came to me, I would just charge you for the time spent, not a lot of money. You need some guidance, I think.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Re: Partnership Division

If your business was truly a Partnership, then dissolution would require filing a Notice of Termination of Trade Name. You would also need to file a final US 1065 Partnership return.

If your business was a Limitied Liability Company (LLC) or Corporation there would be several additional steps. This would include filing a No Asset Dissolution of the Corporation with the NJ Department of Revenue.

Because you can have substantial legal and tax liability, you should engage an experienced tax and business attorney.

I hope this helps!
