Client is an LLC (partnership) with a final return for 2008 - ceased operations 2/28/08. There were 3 members. 2 of the members formed a new corp 3/1/08 and use the assets of the old LLC in their new S-corp. What is the proper way to handle the disposition of the assets from the old LLC to the new S-corp, considering that only 2 of the LLC members are shareholders of the new corp that is using the assets now? A sale to the new S-corp or the shareholders at net book value? Distribution to the 2 members who formed the new S-corp? There were no formalities, documentation, etc. (of course). Can someone point me in the right direction (code, example, etc.). Thanks!

A sale to the new S-corp? Did one occur? Were the assets distributed or sold? These things are determined by the facts of the transaction. These transactions are convered under code sections 734,743,754.
