Of course his opinion was on tax law and not TT. But if he is correct then there is no reason to fake out TT. Just enter the date of the transfer as the date the item was entered into service. Prior depreciation would be zero as the LLC is starting with the depreciated carryover basis of the item as its cost basis. You would not restart the depreciation in year 8 or 15, it is year 1 for the item being in service with the LLC.
