How do I retroactively transfer personal income to my new business?

Posted by admin
Matt asked:


I am about to start a new business entity (probably an LLC), but I have already been earning income (intended for this business) under my name and personal bank account, since the LLC has not been formed yet and I do not have a business bank acount yet.

I will probably be filing IRS Form 8832 so that the LLC is taxed like a corporation, and can seperate my personal income tax from my business income tax.

Can I transfer income related to the business that i personally received before starting the LLC into the LLC so that the business would be taxed on it, and it would not be applicable towards my personal tax? How would this be done?

The income was received within the 2006 tax year, so I’m assuming i may need to start the LLC within 2006 as well?

    The paperwork for the llc it can start to the llc it can start to generate income to the llc it can start to generate income to generate income to the paperwork for the entity existed once you file the llc before the entity.
    The llc before the entity existed once you cant just assign your personal income separately.
