schirallicpa Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 The LLC is just being created - real estate to be moved to it - but I don't think the LLC gets anything more than the current owners cost basis.

Just wanted to quickly double check It will depend on the tax reporting type that the LLC will use. Corp, partnership, or disregarded each have their set of rules.

Lee B Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 If the LLC elects to be taxed as a Partnership, then you have to deal with "inside basis" versus "outside basis" which will be different numbers if the partners contribute real estate to the LLC. S Corps are usually avoided since any real estate distributed back out to the stockholders will come out at FMV with the resulting tax consequences. Lots of both tax and legal issues need to be considered in advance, which is not what actually happens too many times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
