Can a limited liability company issue stock?

This means all personal assets of the members of an LLC, both tangible and financial, are protected by tax law. A limited liability company (LLC) cannot issue stock. These companies are made up of members, not shareholders, which has tax implications as well.

Are LLC shares taxable?

Since no stock is issued to the members of an LLC, the company is taxed as a pass-through entity. The company itself incurs no taxes. Instead, members of the LLC report their shares of the entity's profits as taxable income. The LLC, the C corporation, and the S corporation are all business structures unique to the U.S.

Does an LLC have a tax liability?

The company itself has no tax liability. The LLC is a common form of business in the U.S. because its members are shielded from liability for its failure. Members of an LLC become owners according to the terms of a partnership agreement rather than through stock purchases. Note that the LLC is a company, not a corporation.
