Also not a lawyer but it seems unlikely. You can’t create a legal shell just to shield yourself from liability. There needs to be an actual entity. Or not, again not a lawyer.
Depends if you are keeping the entity and its finances separately. If you can demonstrate your finances are not commingled, they can be considered as separate and distinct even when reporting taxes as pass through.
So, for instance, document the seed money to the LLC, and any other money you put in, carry on the books. Similarly, pay yourself a salary or if doing “equity draw” again keep it full documented.
