NEW LLC MEMBER QUESTION

[Lee B]

My client, a U S citizen wants to form an LLC with a foreign national, who is a citizen of Taiwan and is a nonresident alien.

The LLC will buy a piece of commercial property ( building & land ) which will be leased to a U S subsidiary of a Taiwan company,

which is owned by the Taiwan national.

Question : Can my client form an LLC with a non resident alien ? If he can, what do you use for an EIN when filing Form 1065 ?

[Abby Normal]

I have an LLC that is 100% owned by a foreign corporation. I leave the EIN field blank on Sch G (1120). The column header says 'if any'. No problems efiling.
