Hi, what's the best way to report this and which forms:

Client formed LLC with another person in 2020. They had start up costs of ~$10K

LLC was dissolved, and my client received $45K to give away IP rights.

In the process had some legal consultation fees paid. 

All this happened within one year. 

 

Thanks!

I should clarify a few things:

- My client received $45K from the other member after LLC was dissolved.

- Legal fees were paid by him.

There was no 1065 filed for the LLC.

Jeff's point is that a 1065 should be filed.

Did the LLC sell its assets and then distribute money to the members?

Or did your client sell his interest in the LLC to the other member?

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

The LLC was dissolved. There were no assets. The other member paid my client $45K to give up any rights in regards to the software they created. The other member created a new LLC.
