    I have a client that has formed a FL FLP and it has a Corporation as the GP with the wife and husbands living trusts as the limited partners

    should the corporation be an S or a C Corporation

    The assets inside the FLP are going to be real property rentals located in Florida and NY

    The corporation should make a subchapter S election, although I wonder why the client's attorney chose an FLP as opposed to an LLC.  Who are the shareholders of the corporation?

    The attorney has not yet provided me with the list of shareholders yet. Just wondering why you would pick S Corp for the GP
