How will 1st Member Own His/Her Membership in the LLC?*
- Community Property
- Separate Property
- Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship
If the spouses own as community property then if one spouse dies the other spouse automatically becomes the sole owner of the membership interest without the need for a probate and there may be an income tax advantage. Community property ownership means that if the spouses divorce each spouse is entitled to one half the value of their joint ownership interest in the LLC.
California law provides that if a spouse who is an California resident acquires property during marriage the property is automatically community property unless the property was acquired as a gift or from an inheritance unless the non-owner spouse signs a disclaimer. When a spouse owns the LLC as separate property and the spouse dies, the interest does not pass automatically to the deceased spouse's heirs and an expensive and time consuming probate will be necessary to transfer the interest to the heirs.
If this spouse is to own his/her interest as separate property we will prepare a Disclaimer that the owner spouse must get the non-owner spouse to sign.

Who Will Be the LLC's Partnership Representative?
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 made major changes to the way the IRS audits LLCs taxed as partnerships. One of the changes requires that LLCs taxed as partnerships name a person who has a substantial presence in the United States to be the LLC's Partnership Representative. Although the Partnership Representative does not have to be a member of the LLC, we recommend that a member be the Partnership Representative.
If the LLC is audited the IRS will only deal with the Partnership Representative. If your LLC will be taxed as a partnership and it fails to name a Partnership Representative the IRS will name somebody to be your LLC's Partnership Representative. You don't want the IRS to pick somebody you don't know who has the power to consent to an IRS audit that says the LLC owns additional taxes.
Which Statement Applies to the LLC?*
The IRS default method of federal income tax for a multi-member LLC is the partnership method. If the members of a multi-member LLC do not want their LLC to be taxed as a partnership they can cause the LLC to file an IRS form 8832 to elect the C corporation tax method or IRS form 2553 to elect the S corporation tax method (if the LLC is eligible).
- We don't know how the LLC will be taxed at this time, but will name a Partnership Representative in case we don't elect to be taxed as a C or S corporation.
- The LLC will be taxed as a partnership.
- The LLC will be taxed as an S corporation or a C corporation.
Who Will be the LLC's Partnership Representative if It is Audited by the IRS?
About Buy Sell Agreements
A Multi-Member LLC's Most Important Document*
- All multi-member LLCs other than a two member LLC owned by a married couple should have a document signed by all of the members called a Buy Sell Agreement. This is the document that contains the members' exit strategy. It deals with events such as death of a member. Without a Buy Sell Agreement the members of an Arizona LLC are stuck with each other forever. To learn more about Buy Sell Agreements read What You Need to Know about LLC Buy Sell Agreements.
Buy Sell Agreement*
- I want to save $600 off the normal price of $1,497 & purchase a custom Buy Sell Agreement for $897.
- I do not want a Buy Sell Agreement at this time. I understand that I will save $600 off the normal price of $1,497 if I purchase the Buy Sell Agreement within 90 days of the date the LLC is formed.
