Changing LLCs, Tax Classification and the Impact
2 CPE for AFSP, EA, CPA, CRTP
When a client wants to discuss whether they should change entity types it is key to understand the tax impact of the conversion. It is not as simple as just reporting the change on the appropriate form. During this session we’ll discuss what happens when a limited liability company (LLC) adds owners or when the sale of interests leaves only one partner in that LLC. Additionally, we will address factors to consider when the LLC owner(s) wants to elect in or out of corporate status.
