Also, if you read the article I posted on G.E., it talks about how you can write off up to $10,000 in start-up costs on your taxes. I think this may be for the company, not the individual, so maybe that doesn't help in a dissolution. However, my overall point was simply that professionals know about all these loopholes, regular Joe start-up guy does not. So go see someone who knows what they're talking about.
