Personal taxes of partners of LLC
Is an LLC required to give partners an IRS Form for losses yearly? How do LLC partners treat Company loses on their personal income taxes?
Richard,
An LLC does offer a number of benefits, but is not necessary in order to file a federal partnership return. Profits and losses in a partnership flow through to the individual partners and are reported on Schedule E on the individual 1040 returns. There are a number of factors that will potentially affect the deduction of losses by partners and I would suggest you consult with a tax professional to determine what partnership losses can be deducted by the partners.
