How do you account for an inactive member who is still
considered a partner but during this inactive period the
partner does not pay dues nor received any portion of late
fees and miscellenous income during this period. (However,
the operating policy allow for the partner to participate in
gains & losses during this period.) It appears that the
site does not allow for a member to be inactive without
being totally withdrawn from the club? The site also
allocates the fee and miscellenous income collected to this
inactive partner.

Any advice or sugguestions?

We do not support this. I have my doubts as to whether the IRS
would allow this. As long as the inactive member has a material
participation in the club, it's likely the IRS would require a
proportional distribution of income and expenses.

I'm neither a lawyer or accountant. You should consult a
professional advisor if you are in doubt about what to do.

I believe Keesha may have more than an IRS problem. Inactive
partners also create SEC problems.
