Multi-member LLC is owned by two LLC members, do I need to file state taxes

gscandrett — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 09:03:18 GMT

I have a multi-member LLC (not a S Corp) that is owned by two members which are both LLCs, both S Corporations and are located in two different states. The revenue for the multi-member LLC will flow through to the owners and will be reflected on the 1120-S for each member LLC owner. The question I have is, do I need to file state returns for the multi-member LLC in both states where the members are located?

not enough info. what are the multi-member LLC business activities? where? you have a complex tax structure and are operating in multiple states. state laws differ drastically. you would be wise to consult a tax pro on the filing requirements for each of the entities and members of the top tier LLC.

Thanks @Mike9241. The multi-member LLC is a software reseller. Sales are global - North America, Europe and Asia - with no sales occurring in the states where the S-corps are located. No professional service are conducted and the multi-member LLC does not develop, build or support the software.
