For members of multi-member LLCs, partnerships & S-Corps

Is Your Operating Agreement Costing You Money?

If you own a piece of a business or a real estate deal, your operating agreement controls how you're taxed. Most are written for legal protection — not tax efficiency. That gap is where value leaks.

This Is for You If…

Anyone with an ownership stake in a multi-member LLC needs to understand what their operating agreement says — and what it doesn't.

Real Estate Sponsors & GPs

Raising capital from investors? Your allocation language drives every K-1 you issue.

LP Investors

Investing in a deal? The operating agreement determines your tax treatment — not the pitch deck.

Business Co-Owners

Running a multi-member LLC taxed as a partnership or S-Corp? Your operating agreement is your tax rulebook.

CPAs & Tax Preparers

Preparing partnership or S-Corp returns? The operating agreement is the source document you can’t ignore.

The Problem No One Talks About

Your Operating Agreement is the rulebook the IRS and your tax professional must follow. The words on those pages determine who gets income, who takes losses, who pays tax, and how cash leaves the deal.

But here's the disconnect: most operating agreements are drafted by attorneys focused on liability protection — not tax optimization. And most CPAs never read the agreement at all.

The result? Misallocated income. Phantom tax bills. Blown S-elections. Angry LPs. And in the worst case, the IRS rewriting your allocations for you.
