Q.Can a non-resident alien have an ownership interest in an LLC?

A.Unlike an S corporation which prohibits a nonresident alien shareholder, a California LLC can have a nonresident alien member. However, the nonresident may be subject to backup withholding on any distributions paid to him or her. Check with a tax advisor or the IRS on this.
