12. I represent a tax-exempt organization that is a member of a pass-through entity. Must the pass-through entity withhold from my organization’s share of the entity income?

A pass-through entity is not required to withhold from income distributable to a tax exempt entity member, if that income is not taxable to the entity member. However, the pass-through entity may not be aware of the tax status of each of its members. A nonprofit, or tax exempt, member may be required to provide the pass-through entity with documentation showing the tax exempt status.
