Thanks for the reply @dmertz
I saw the reference you provided and thought that was definitive, until I started researching further and wasn't sure. For example:
https://www.irs.gov/faqs/small-business-self-employed-other-business/entities/entities-1 "Partners in a partnership (including certain members of a limited liability company (LLC)) are considered to be self-employed, not employees, when performing services for the partnership."
And
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p560.pdf when discussing SEP IRA plans: Net (self employment) earnings include a partner's distributive share of partnership income or loss (other than separately stated
items, such as capital gains and losses)"
Thanks
