Thanks Rick. To clarify, beginning S corp basis of "what ever you contributed" represents the LLC's assets and liabilities and my contributed capital as of the day before the S election? Company assets are cash and inventory. My only liabilities are accounts payable and deferred revenue. No debt. Owner's Equity includes contributed capital I put in to the business and negative retained earnings (due to NOL's for 2017 and also 2018). Also how do I determine if I need to pay taxes on the S election based on Section 357 liabilities exceeding basis <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="

Would that calculation for me be the the LLC's assets+contributed capital-liabilities mentioned above (with all figures presumably determined end of 2017 right before the S election)? And is it the same calculation for beginning basis of the S corp? Not sure what you mean by "Anything that occurred before the S election, will have no impact on your basis."
