Considering Converting an LLC into a Corporation? Here Are the QSBS Issues You Should Be Thinking About.

A common question we receive from founders is whether to organize their start-up business as a corporation or as an LLC . While there are many non-tax related factors that need to be considered, this is often (at least in part) a tax driven decision. Organizing the business as an LLC can come with certain tax advantages, such as avoiding an entity level corporate tax and, subject to various limitations, permitting founders to use losses generated by the business and passed through on their Schedule K-1 to offset their other income. Alternatively, while organizing the business as a corporation results in an entity level corporate tax and precludes the pass-through of losses, it may permit the founders to access the “qualified small business stock” (QSBS) rules of Section 1202 of the Code.

MintzTech Connect Industry News — June 2020

By Dan DeWolf and Samuel Effron

In Harper Lee’s book, To Kill a Mockingbird, the protagonist Atticus Finch tells his son: “One never really understands a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it”. Unless you take the time to stand in another person’s shoes and see the world from that person’s perspective, we really don’t process very well what others may be saying or feeling. In this challenging time of a global pandemic and national outrage for systemic social injustices, we urge all of our readers to listen (truly listen) to your colleagues and try to understand better what it is like to be in another person’s shoes. Black Lives Matter and it is up to all of us to listen, support each other, and to see how we can make this world better. We have assembled a list of books that may help deepen that understanding and encourage us all to work diligently to build the equitable world we all want for ourselves and our fellow citizens.
