Go find another CPA immediately bad.Moving property out of a Corp is a taxable event, while it isn’t necessarily for an LLC, so that’s not a good thing.Also, if you are a S corporation if you want to take money out of the Corp you must first pay yourself a reasonable salary (and pay payroll taxes on that).If you are a C corporation, you are subject to double taxation (all income is taxed at the corporate level, and then again when distributed to you).If you are a real estate developer it makes sense to own property through a corporation, but not rental real estate.I strongly suggest talking to someone else about you tax situation.

Jeff Bousquet Real Estate in LLC's Question
7 January 2018 | 2 replies
Exact rules and fees differ wildly from state to state.Attorneys often suggest that the legal protection of "foreign" LLCs is weaker than that of "native" LLCs - which also depends on the state and should be discussed with an attorney familiar with the state law.As to taxes, some states do have state taxation for businesses, and others don't.
