How should I pay partners in an LLc that does not have any net income

Hi Linda,

We have an LLC partnership. It does not have any net income yet. It is still a loss for the year. We have paid ourselves and I need to know if I should do a 1099 for each of the partners as a contract labor expense or should I do an owner draw even though there was no income and no retained earnings to take the draws out of.
