@Patti RobertsonI'm a newbie here and certainly not a lawyer, but this sounds like something that could be used to pierce the corporate veil.

It is easy to "pierce the corporate veil".  

Remember that LLC law varies by state, but after endless discussions of "to LLC or not," or "piercing the corporate veil," it seems like a primary source would be helpful here.

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

@John Spurlock  as much as we would like to think LLC isolates the owner from liability that simply is not the case.. if its bad enough to get sued.. your going to get sued personally right along with your LLC.. and you may be right but you will spend thousands on motions in limini ...LLC's are great for many reasons and I have a bunch of them.. but its all with different partners.. but in a single member LLC its easily pierced.

For my LLC purposes, I make it nearly impossible for the corporate veil to be pierced, as everything is paid in and out of the LLC as it deals with the residence, this is where a good accountant comes into play.

So my question with regards to this affiliate account is: "will direct depositing the revenue into my LLC checking account from amazon, and creating a signed resolution to transfer ownership of the affiliate account and it's generated revenue to the LLC be enough to protect me from piercing the vale?"

This is why quitclaim deeds are usually the proper legal form.At the end of the day, you need to make sure you know what you are doing or you may pierce the veil of your LLC or any other corporate structure and open yourself up to personal liability wherein lenders can attach to your personal assets.

As far as I'm aware, you're protected from personal liability with an LLC so long as you A) don't make any personal guarantees (or violate a law which specifically creates liability for the owner, like a failure to make payroll tax payments) and B) keep the business separate from your personal finances and activities so that there's no opportunity to pierce the corporate veil.What do you mean by "pass-through liability" here?

If you forget even one, it's sure to have a dead mouse in it that will stink the place up.Those spring traps kill them quickly, unlike poisons or dehydration agents, which draw out their agony.
