When you say "limited partner", what exactly does this mean?

  • Is the entity a limited partnership in which you are truly a limited partner; not materially participating?
  • Is this an LLC filing as a partnership in which the limited partner box is checked and you are truly a "limited partner" or other LLC member; not materially participating?
  • Is this an LLC filing as a partnership in which the member-manager box is checked?
  • Aside from the above, it would be good to provide a few more facts.
