Removing member from bivio with no tax implications
Recently we accepted a new member. She was added to our
bivio account when her capital contribution was deposited
into our group account, but was never invested. Within 30
days, she decided that she'd made a mistake and submitted
her resignation - which the club has accepted. Since her
capital contribution was never invested, but only sat in the
club's money market account, we have voted to return her
contribution, plus any interest gained.

Question: How can we remove her from our bivio account in a
manner which insures that she does not get a year end tax
statement with share distribution for the time she was
listed as a member - as she will not be benefiting from any
dividends or interest?

Thank you,
MM
The easiest way is to delete all of her entries and give her back her investment as if she never joined the club. If you give her any interest on the money contributed, then you have to consider her as a full member of the club. Her withdrawal amount would include any change in value of the units she purchased (whether up or down) and she will get a K-1 at the end of the year.
