Depending on the balance in your capital account, you may be able to write-off the additional investment as a capital loss when you dispose of of (close) the partnership.

 

As you described the transaction, it would not have been a "loan" since there isn't any expectation of being repaid by a "closed business".

 

The $7000 would be a capital contribution to the LLC and would raise your cost basis in the investment. Once the business is closed - no assets, no activities - you would receive a Final K-1.  

 

Report the Final K-1 on your tax return, and indicate you "disposed" of your interest for (presumably) "$0".  This will generate a loss in the amount of your remaining capital balance. These entries are made in the Schedule K-1 interview of TurboTax, found under Business Investment and Estate/Trust Income

 

The capital account contains the following transactions:

   + Investments made by the owner or partner
   + Subsequent profits of the business
   - Subsequent losses of the business
   - Subsequent draws paid to the owner or partner
   = Ending balance in the capital account
