Alabama Dissolution Package to Dissolve Limited Liability Company LLC Form

The answer will be yes or no depending on how your entity is recognized for tax purposes. An LLC is not a recognized entity by the IRS. By default, a single-member LLC is organized for tax purposes as a sole proprietorship and a partnership for tax purposes if there is more than one member. However, you can make an election to be taxed as a C Corporation (i.e., an LLC for legal purposes that is taxed as a C Corporation for tax purposes).You must complete and file form 966 to dissolve your LLC if you have elected to be a C Corporation or a Cooperative (Coop) for tax purposes. S Corporations and tax-exempt non-profits are exempt from filing this form (see here).If you are organized for tax purposes as an S Corporation you would file your taxes via form 1120S for the last time and check the box indicating that your return is a “Final Return.” Same is true for a Partnership, but with form 1065.On a state and local level, best practice is to check with your state and local agencies for requirements.For digestible information and tools for understanding how the tax landscape affects your business, visit Financial Telepathy

Let’s see. You have a new company. The company has NO credit history. The company wants to purchase things from another business. That business wants to make sure that they get paid. Thus the personal guarantee. They are protecting themselves from your limited liability by having it expanded to you personally just to prevent what you are inferring.Now someone slips and falls in you place of business. They can get the business but not your personal assets.So the LLC still does limit liability - providing you have not “pierced the corporate veil” thru operating your llc in a non business like manner.

I think you should do what your CPA advises.In terms of HOW to form a LLC, you have options. Almost all states allow folks to form a LLC online either by using their web-based form or by downloading a PDF with instructions.There are many companies (including my own) that will form a LLC for you. So, you have two options: Do it yourself, or hire an Internet company to do it for you.There are pros and cons to each approach, and there are many variations of the companies that will do it for you.The advantage of doing it yourself is mostly the cost. You’re not paying anyone to do it for you.The negative, is that you will have to learn what to do and that can sometimes take a bit of work. Furthermore, the state (no matter where you file) won’t provide an Operating Agreement (which is critical for multi-member LLC’s) and they won’t help you with other aspects of forming a company. You tell them that Mickey Mouse is an owner, they will put Mickey Mouse down as an owner.Finally, there are some things that are just impossible doing it yourself (i.e. forming an Anonymous LLC), because by definition you need a third-party to be your organizer and registered agent.Conversely, hiring someone to form your LLC for you will provide some level of peace-of-mind and simplicity. They will provide some template documents, and they can provide additional services that may be important to your business (i.e. Registered Agent services).With that said, when you hire the “cheapest” company to help you, they are often not adding much value to the process, other than already knowing what to do. The absolute best company to hire would be your local business attorney or law firm, but they will also be the most expensive. The next best would be law firms who provide these services online (like my company, see Form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) | Law 4 Small Business, P.C. (L4SB)). After that will be your typical unlicensed legal provider, such as legalzoom and the others. Last on the list are individuals who are doing formations online, because they can make a quick buck.Factors that you should consider, when thinking about hiring a company to help you form a LLC are:Their online reputation, not the thousands of reviews listed on their website, but the actual google reviews.Do they provide attorney-client privilege and confidentiality?Can you actually speak to someone knowledgeable that will give you sound advice or has the ability to consult with your CPA?Can they help you with other aspects of their business?As it relates to business liability insurance, depending on the type of business you have, you may need to consider:General liability insuranceWorkers (or Workmans) CompensationKeyman / Key-life (if you have more than one owner, or the business needs money if you were to die or become incapacitated)Professional liability insurance (if you’re providing some sort of skilled service)Special insurance / riders, depending on what it is you doI strongly recommend you consult with at least TWO local business insurance agents (with good reputations) to see what they say.Good luck to you.

You form the LLC, and make the limited company a member of the LLC. The process for forming the LLC does not change regardless of whether its owners are foreign or domestic.No, you do not need to provide foreign company documents when forming the LLC. However, unless the person you will designate as the responsible person/organization of the LLC has a US Tax ID, you will need to apply for the Tax ID using the paper application (Form SS-4) rather than the online application. This adds a little complexity and a lot more time to the process.

First, the LLC operates as tax partnership (“TP”) as the default tax status if no election has been made as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3(b)(i). For legal purposes, we have a LLC. For tax purposes we have a tax partnership. Since we are discussing a tax issue here, we will discuss the issue from the perspective of a TP.A partner cannot under any circumstances be an employee of the TP as Revenue Ruling 69-184 dictated such. And, the 2016 preamble to Temporary Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-2T notes the Treasury still supports this revenue ruling.Though a partner can engage in a transaction with the TP in a non partner capacity (Section 707a(a)).A partner receiving a 707(a) payment from the partnership receives the payment as any stranger receives a payment from the TP for services rendered. This partner gets treated for this transaction as if he/she were not a member of the TP (Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(a).As an example, a partner owns and operates a law firm specializing in contract law. The TP requires advice on terms and creation for new contracts the TP uses in its business with clients. This partner provides a bid for this unique job and the TP accepts it. Here, the partner bills the TP as it would any other client, and the partner reports the income from the TP client job as he/she would for any other client. The TP records the job as an expense and pays the partner as it would any other vendor. Here, I am assuming the law contract job represents an expense versus a capital item. Of course, the partner may have a law corporation though the same principle applies.Further, a TP can make fixed payments to a partner for services or capital — called guaranteed payments as noted in subsection (c).A 707(c) guaranteed payment shows up in the membership agreement drawn up by the business attorney. This payment provides a service partner with a guaranteed payment regardless of the TP’s income for the year as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-1(c).As an example, the TP operates an exclusive restaurant. Several partners contribute capital for the venture. The TP’s key service partner is the chef for the restaurant. And, the whole restaurant concept centers on this chef’s experience and creativity. The TP’s operating agreement provides the chef receives a certain % profit interest but as a minimum receives yearly a fixed $X guaranteed payment regardless of TP’s income level. In the first year of operations the TP has low profits as expected. The chef receives the guaranteed $X payment as provided in the membership agreement.The TP allocates the guaranteed payment to the capital interest partners on their TP k-1s as business expense. And, the TP includes the full $X guaranteed payment as income on the chef’s K-1. Here, the membership agreement demonstrates the chef only shares in profits not losses. So, the TP only allocates the guaranteed expense to those partners responsible for making up losses (the capital partners) as noted in Treasury Regulation Section 707-1(c) Example 3. The chef gets no allocation for the guaranteed expense as he/she does not participate in losses.If we change the situation slightly, we may change the tax results. If the membership agreement says the chef shares in losses, we then allocate a portion of the guaranteed expense back to the chef following the above treasury regulation.As a final note, a TP return requires knowledge of primary tax law if the TP desires filing a completed an accurate partnership tax return.I have completed the above tax analysis based on primary partnership tax law. If the situation changes in any manner, the tax outcome may change considerably. www.rst.tax

If you are the only owner of the LLC, the default tax classification as "sole proprietor," which means that the LLC itself is disregarded for tax purposes (i.e. it does not exist for tax purposes). In that case, you would include all of the company's business income and loss on your personal income tax return (Form 1040, filed annually), in a Schedule C attachment.If the LLC has more than one owner, the default tax classification is partnership, which means you would have to file a partnership tax return annually (Form 1065). The LLC would report any profit or loss to you via a Schedule K-1, and then you would include that income on your personal income tax return.
