An LLC can add new members by following the terms of the "operating agreement." The operating agreement, the document created when the LLC was set up, defines important terms about the management of the company. In general, operating agreements require all members to agree to the addition of a new member.

Since the default rule for multi-members LLCs is that the LLC is treated as a partnership, an LLC composed solely of a husband and wife will be a partnership for tax purposes unless the members choose to have it elect to be treated as a corporation.

A business jointly owned and operated by a married couple is a partnership (and should file Form 1065, U.S. Return of Partnership Income) unless the spouses qualify and elect to have the business be treated as a qualified joint venture, or they operate their business in one of the nine community property states.
