As mentioned, any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members have to vote on it. The majority of LLC members must vote in favor of the resolution to pass it, but every LLC can have its own voting rules. For example, some LLCs may assign different values to different member votes.
Single-member LLCs do not need resolutions, but they can still come in handy in certain situations, like if the company must defend itself in court. Documenting changes or actions not covered in the original bylaws or articles of incorporation can help an LLC protect itself from lawsuits or judicial investigations.
While a single member LLC does not file California Form 565, they must file California Form 568 which provides details about the LLC. Per the CA FTB Limited Liability Company (LLC) website: If your LLC has one owner, you're a single member limited liability company (SMLLC).
For income tax purposes, an LLC with only one member is treated as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner, unless it files Form 8832 and affirmatively elects to be treated as a corporation.
If your LLC fails to file Form 568 on or before the extended due date, you will be assessed a penalty. The penalty is 5% of the unpaid tax for each month or part of the month, and the return remains unfiled from the due date until it is filed. The maximum penalty is 25% of the unpaid tax.
Any LLC member can propose a resolution, but all members must vote on it. Typically a majority of the members is needed to pass the resolution, but each LLC may have different voting rights. Some LLCs give a different value to each member's vote based on their percentage of interest in the company.
Form 568 must be filed by every LLC that is not taxable as a corporation if any of the following apply: The LLC is doing business in California. The LLC is organized in California. The LLC is organized in another state or foreign country, but registered with the California SOS.
If the LLC has a single member, it will be disregarded as separate from its owner, and will be treated as a sole proprietorship or a division of its owner, unless it elects to be taxable as a corporation. In general, all the owners (members) are shielded from individual liability for debts and obligations of the LLC.
