Business & farm

There are a number of issues here that need to be addressed and documented so hopefully you received professional guidance when you changed entity type.

Some comments:

  • Was the conversion handled by a state conversion?
  • Was the conversion handled via the "check-the-box" rules?
  • Have you received documentation from the IRS that the S election has been accepted?
  • Depending on the response to bullet 1 and 2, this will have an impact on your basis in the S corp.
    • You could have an assets-over approach
    • You could have an assets-up approach
    • Depending on which approach is used, the basis in your S corp stock and any physical assets will be different.
  • As you can see, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed so hopefully you consulted with a tax professional
