We had a NY client do a like kind exchange of a NY corp owned property for a property out of state, in which the exchange lawyer formed him an out of state LLC for the new property.
I was debating on how to report this as in order to qualify for the exchange, the corp would still have to hold this property. The thing is that it would also be a single member LLC.
Someone suggested to leave the property as a rental schedule in the corp. The issue with that is that now the out of state (no state tax) LLC is now being taxed on a NY corporation.
Your thoughts on how you would structure this now?
