When you guys contributed cash, you should have recorded cash as a contribution in the LLC's books. 2) When you invested in the LP, you would get rid of the cash from your books and record the Investment in your books. 3) After the year-end when your investment entity (not your LLC) files a tax return, you will get K-1 from your investment entity. 4) You will record the activity of the investment that is shown in the K-1 in your LLC's books. 5) After the books are done recording the K-1 from your investment, your LLC will file a tax return and will issue K-1s for you guys. ( just like your limited partnership investment issued a k-1 for you LLC) 6) You will pick up the K-1s in your personal return.
