You combine the balance sheets. Unless it has filed Form 8832, the SMLLC is disregarded entirely, and all balance sheet and tax items of the SMLLC are treated as <g class="gr_ gr_348 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar only-ins doubleReplace replaceWithoutSep" id="348" data-gr-id="348">balance</g> sheet and tax items of the tax partnership for purposes of the federal income tax. When filling out the balance sheet on Schedule L of Form 1065, include items of both the tax partnership and its SMLLC subsidiary.

Subject: SMLLC owned by Multi-Member LLC
Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well!
I have a SMLLC who is owned by a Multi-Member LLC filing form 1065.
Both own rental real estate and both maintain completely separate set of books.
My instinct is to report the SMLLC P&L activity on form 8825 of the 1065 as property B for example but what do i do with the balance sheet presentation and depreciation for SMLLC?. If I don't consolidate the two balance sheets the activity will probably not make sense. But consolidating the two balance sheets doesn't seem right to me either. Or do i disregard the 1065 altogether and report the activity on Schedule E of each partner? This doesn't feel right either.
Any advice is welcomed.
Thank you,
Paul
