1031 exchange transfer from an existing LLC to new LLC

[Soumya Brijesh]

Hey Guys, Question :- I have a property in Ohio under a Sole Member LLC that I am selling and doing a 1031 on another property in Texas. Can I setup a similar Sole Member LLC in Texas(with a different name) and buy the new property ?

I think most of the QI’s on here, including @Dave Foster who I use, will tell you it needs to be traced to a tax filing # such as a TIN or SSN. Does the LLC file taxes separately from yourself?
