HOW TO REGISTER\nClick here to get to the Indiana Department of Revenue:\n\nhttp://www.in.gov/dor/business/register.html\n\nIt explains how to register your partnership.\n\n\nPARTNERSHIPS\nA partnership is simply a business owned by two or more people that hasn't filed papers to become a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC). No paperwork needs to be filed to form a partnership -- the arrangement begins as soon as you start a business with another person. As in a sole proprietorship, the partnership's owners pay taxes on their shares of the business income on their personal tax returns and they are each personally liable for the entire amount of any business debts and claims.\n\nCORPORATIONS\nMost people have heard that forming a corporation provides "limited liability" -- that is, it limits your personal liability for business debts. What you may not know is that there's more to creating and running a corporation than filing a few papers. You'll need to keep good records to handle the more complicated corporate tax return and, in order to retain your limited liability, you must follow corporate formalities involving decision making and record keeping. In short, you've got to be organized.\n\nLimited Personal Liability:\n\nOne of the main advantages of incorporating is that the owners' personal assets are protected from creditors of the corporation. For instance, if a court judgment is entered against your corporation saying that it owes a creditor $100,000, normally you can't be forced to use personal assets, such as your house, to pay the debt. Because only corporate assets need be used to pay business debts, you stand to lose only the money that you've invested in the corporation.

Every business entity -- whether it be a corporation, limited partnership or LLC -- has to name a registered agent.  The RA must be a person who lives in the state in which the entity was incorporated/organized, and the RAs job is to (i) serve as the official address for communications from the secretary of state and (ii) accept service of process if the entity ever gets sued.\n\nYes, a member of the LLC is an appropriate person to serve as RA since it is largely a ministerial (no-big-deal, on-paper-only) role and you don't take on additional liability just by serving as an RA.  That assumes that one of the members lives in the state in which the LLC was organized.  If none of the members lives in the state of organization (e.g., if you organized the LLC in Delaware and you're all from California) then you have to hire someone to be your RA in Delaware -- there are plenty of companies that provide this service.\n\nBy the way, you're probably not aware that the IRS requires your LLC to name a "tax matters member."  Well, the IRS does.  Your operating agreement or a set of member resolutions should state who will serve as tax matters member.\n\nOn the answer from b_vencill420.... that answer was confusing registered agent with someone who has authority to enter contracts on behalf of the company, which is known as the law of agency, not the same as a registered agent.

It depends on the state laws; where are you?  \nDid they sign a contract when they joined the association?\nDid the assocation get included on the title of the house at some point?  \n\nYou may need to consult an attorney specializing in real estate law.

I would contact the registrar of voters for the county where you will be living to determine if you can legally do this.  Chances are that you will need to wait until after you move their to register.

Do you have the papers to verify the existence of the LLC?  Because, for what you said, I think you should check Option h and you meet the requirements for Exception 1, you have a partnership interest.

My partner and I live in Wisconsin and we are insured thru State Farm.  I have no clue how they categorize us there, but we've been with them for almost 25 years and everyone in the office knows us as partners and is cool with it.

You don't. The whole point of LLCs is registering with the state once and then doing business around the US. If you have retail presence, you must register to pay sales taxes.

Are they still pushing partnership dissolutions?\nThey were huge-mark questions when I qualified back in the 70's.\n1. Partnerships are not common in the first place\n2. Dissolution of partnerships is rarer still\n3. There are so many "methods"\n4. Once you know the basic method, answering these questions is a mathematical race against time.\n\nThe reality is, from what you say, that these questions evidently continue to be set and so, yes, you must jump through the hoops.\n\nBy the way, sorry, but I know of no sites to assist. I doubt many accountants (me included) could assist, because it's rare to come across this sort of thing in practice. I'd have to swat up on them too!\nIf you can't find anything virtual, you'll just have to hit the books, like I used to (ugh!)
