It is not a trick question. You should mark the option that applies to you. Sounds like the members decided to dissolve it, so choose that option.

The articles should be file-stamped to show the date when they received it, even if they are unable to update the web site (Sunbiz, if Florida) immediately.

You would want to speak with a Florida Business Attorney and make changes to the LLC Operating Agreement and you would want to make any applicable changes to the Florida Department of State documents as they relate to business and ownership via an amendment probably as well.

You do not have to register as a member. Your ownership should be reflected in the Operating Agreement.

You can use series LLC, which would have to be registered in another state (FL does not have such a thing), then you register a business in FL. If you only register in FL, your name will have to be listed as an officer, but in other states it is not the same requirement.
Good luck.

Florida does not require the owners of a "payroll bookkeeping business" to be CPAs.
However, I would bet that the Florida Department of Financial Services in Tallahassee has some level of certification and licensing requirements for this kind of financial because you will be dealing with OPM.

I think you mean "acronym".
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/acronym
Specifically, I'm starting a business in Florida as a sole proprietor and want my business name to be my first initial, last name, and the word "Design" e.g. A. Smith Design. Do I need a DBA for this or does this meet the requirement for use of my legal name?
Advice is greatly appreciated.
