Company X (SMLLC taxed as S Corp) is re-organizing and will be selling inventory to newly created SMLLC Y & Z(taxed as S Corp). 

Why are they selling inventory and recognizing income instead of a Type D tax free transfer if ownership is the same?

751 applies to transfers from partnership to partners.  Transfer of corp. assets is an entirely different ball game.

I don't think §751 applies since it is not a partnership.

Sect 751 prevents converting ordinary income to capital gains at the partner level.  It does not apply to corporations since the transfer is a deemed sale to shareholders.

And the situation you described is a direct sale unless Sec. 368(a)(1)(D)) is applied.

They are not asking me....the owner has his reasons.   Thanks for confirming that there is no Hot Asset issue.   Appreciate you.
