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.
