Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You don't specify whether the LLC is located in the U.S.  Since you're asking the question, I'm assuming it is.  A multi-member LLC files a U.S. Form 1065, unless it elected to be taxed as a corporation.  There are special rules for both partnerships and corporations with foreign partners or shareholders.  There are two many unknowns for me to give a direct answer.  However, here are two links to the IRS web page and you should be able to follow from there.

Are Your Foreign Partners Aware of This?

This is especially important with respect to partnership withholding. A foreign or domestic partnership that has effectively connected taxable income allocable to a foreign partner must pay a withholding tax under IRC section 1446 equal to the applicable percentage of the effectively connected taxable income that is allocable to its foreign partners. A partnership must pay the withholding tax for a foreign partner even if the partnership does not have a U.S. TIN for that partner.

Foreign partners must attach Form 8805 to their U.S. income tax returns to claim a credit for their share of the IRC section 1446 tax withheld by the partnership. To insure proper crediting of the withholding tax when reporting to the IRS, a partnership must provide a U.S. taxpayer identification number (TIN) for each foreign partner. The partnership should notify any of its foreign partners without a valid TIN of the necessity of obtaining a U.S. taxpayer identification number. An individual's taxpayer identification number is the individual's social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). An ITIN will always begin with a 9, and the middle two digits will be in the range of 70 to 80. It is also possible that a partner's TIN could be its U.S. employer identification number (EIN).

NOTE: Certain aliens who cannot obtain SSNs can now apply for ITINs on Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

Partnerships should review their files and/or contact their foreign partners to verify that each foreign partner has a valid TIN.
