Can anyone please help me undersand how to complete form 1065 and schedule K-1 for this problem?

Please complete AAA Fast Plumbings 2016 tax return based upon the facts presented below. If required information is missing, use reasonable assumptions to fill in the gaps. Ignore all AMT calculations and AMT related reporting items. Michael Rodriguez and Devontae Johnson have been life-long friends. Both Michael and Devontae started to work for the same national plumbing repair company immediately after graduating from technical college. After nearly a decade of working for that same company, Michael and Devontae decided to venture out on their own and form their own plumbing company called AAA Fast Plumbing Repair (AAA). They formed AAA as a limited liability company (LLC). Michael and Devontae each own 50% of the company. The company has been successful primarily based upon reputation and the fact that AAA is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Although AAA charges a premium for after normal business hour calls, most of its competitors will not perform services past 9 p.m. and, thus, AAA finds itself often as one of the only available choices for middle of the night emergencies. AAA has several employees and because of implementing technology solutions to aid in its call dispatch program, AAA has been able to expand its service area to now include a three-county area instead of just one. Information relating to AAA and its owners is as follows: Name of Company: AAA Fast Plumbing Repair, LLC Address: 1456 East Buena Vista Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90001 (has not changed since inception) Company formed and started: January 1, 2010 Accounting Method: Cash Tax-year end: December 31 Employer Identification Number: 34-1234567 Members Information: Michael Rodriguez 1515 West Bloomington Street Los Angeles, CA 90001 SSN- 585-31-6060 Profit/Loss/Capital membership interest is 50%. Devontae Johnson 19 East Violet Circle Los Angeles, CA 90001 SSN: 397-29-9239 Profit/Loss/Capital membership interest is 50%.
