Along the lines of this thread, does anyone know what we
need to do with regards to the IRS when a member
leaves/joins?

I thought I read somewhere that we need to refile the
partnership agreement, and perhaps even receive a new EIN.

All transactions are between members and the club, not between members individually. The club gives the old member the value s/he is entitled to (whether in stock or cash) and the old members units are "canceled." Then the new member buys into the club and purchases new units in whatever amount s/he desires (consistent with the club's bylaws). If, by coincidence, the amounts are the same, it will "look" like the new member bought out the old member, but in reality they should be maintained as separate transactions.

You have to file a "final" K1. This is completely automatic with
bivio if a member is fully withdrawn by the end of the year.
