Question

To tackle this question, I will evaluate each proposed advantage of forming an LLC for Charlie, Lucy, and Sally's restaurant.
Option 1: 'the three members can have their LLC taxed as a disregarded entity.' A disregarded entity status is only available to single-member LLCs. When there are multiple members, the default tax treatment is either partnership taxation or corporate taxation (if the LLC elects to be taxed as a corporation). Therefore, stating that a multi-member LLC can be taxed as a disregarded entity is inaccurately presenting an advantage, making this option untenable for a three-member LLC.
Option 2: 'the three members can choose to have their LLC taxed as a partnership or as an association taxed as a corporation.' This reflects the typical flexibility of an LLC in terms of tax classification: it can default to partnership taxation if there are multiple members, or it can elect to be taxed as a corporation. This is indeed a valid advantage because it allows tax planning and potential tax-rate optimization for the group.
Option 3: 'the LLC Operating Agreement can define the responsibilities of the owners (e.g., whether the owner is a day-to-day manager or a passive investor).' An operating agreement is a strong governance tool that spells out roles and responsibilities, which helps prevent disputes and clarifies management structure. This is a genuine advantage of the LLC form.
Option 4: 'the LLC operating agreement can set forth the voting rights of each member.' Similar to the previous option, the operating agreement can allocate voting power and procedures, providing clear decision-making rules. This is another valid advantage of choosing an LLC and adopting an operating agreement.
In sum, every option except Option 1 describes a legitimate advantage of an LLC for a multi-member ownership group. The incorrect statement is the notion that a three-member LLC can be taxed as a disregarded entity, which conflicts with the standard tax treatment rules for multi-member LLCs.
