You need to make sure you understand how partnership tax works.

As a partner / member in an entity taxed as a partnership, you need to maintain a basis schedule of your investment in the entity.  I have attached a link that should get you started; see page 3.

Since the partnership is a flow through entity each partner is taxed on all income regardless of whether of not it is distributed out.  As long as a partner has basis, any future distributions are not taxed at that time.  Thus the avoidance of double tax.
