She set up an LLC in her friends name but added herself as a member by name and address only. Can she claim her own taxes by paying herself a 1099-MISC but has no social security number. Or does her friend have to file these taxes and claim this income as a Schedule C?

The LLC needs to file a partnership return since it has 2 members (I think-your facts are sketchy as is the client)
Your client needs to get an ITIN if she is not eligible for a SSN. Your client will get a K-1 from the LLC. 1099-MISC is not appropriate for an LLC member.

Sounds like your client is a nonresident alien. If so, the partnership will have various withholding and reporting requirements, even on US-ECI. Your client will need an ITIN for that and for individual tax filing.
Still an AllStar
