If a SMLLC is a parent company to two other SMLLC companies, how would I go about filing a tax return without causing triple taxation. What forms do I file?

Have any of them elected to be taxed as a corporation?

If not, they are "Disregarded Entities".  So disregard the LLCs and treat them as if the owner had that income.

None are being taxed as a corporation. They are all disregarded smllc's. Would we file three LLC returns or just one with the parent company and write off the expenses one just one sch c with all deductions and income recorded there? I have even seen some articles about marking the income as investment income? I am hopping to know the specific tax form to file and where on the return?

You put everything on the top SMLLC's owner's tax return.

If an individual, Sch C if business, Sch E if rental, Schedules B and D if investment, etc,

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I vaguely remember something about 'serial' LLC's.  Maybe that's just a California thing, to override the $800 minimum tax at the lower levels. 

Not sure if any of this helps with your situation.
