What Happens When You Transfer Ownership of Your Business?



If you’re changing the ownership of your LLC or corporation, it’s not as simple as just handing over shares or membership interests. Here’s what to know before you make a move:
• Every ownership transfer is either a gift or a taxable transaction.
• Even family transfers can trigger IRS reporting requirements and depreciation resets.
• In many cases, an asset sale is better than a stock sale for tax reasons.
• If you’ve already transferred ownership, it may still be possible to unwind or correct it with the right guidance.

Before you do anything, schedule a one-hour consultation with a tax lawyer. It can save you thousands and prevent major IRS issues.
