Transfers of Interests in Single-Member LLC Treated as Transfers of Interests in the Entity Rather Than as Transfers of Proportionate Shares of the Underlying Assets (Without a Discount)Posted by Lewis J. Saret, General Editor, Wealth Strategies Journal.
Gifts and sales of interests in a single-member LLC to two trusts (12 days after the LLC was created) are treated for federal gift tax purposes as transfers of interests in the entity (with the possibility of discounts) rather than as transfers of proportionate shares of the underlying assets owned by the LLC, even though the single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity pursuant to the check-the-box regulations. The regulations provide that "whether an organization is an entity separate from its owners for federal tax purposes is a matter of federal tax law and does not depend on whether the organization is recognized as an entity under local law." The issue is whether the reference to "for federal tax purposes" includes valuing transfers for federal gift tax purposes. The Tax Court's conclusion, treating the transfers as transfers of interests in the LLC (subject to discounts for lack of control and lack of marketability) rather than as transfers of a proportionate share of LLC assets, came from a rather divided Tax Court (with 10 judges joining the majority and 6 judges dissenting). A separate opinion will address "(1) Whether the step transaction doctrine applies to collapse the separate transfers to the trusts and (2) the appropriate valuation discount, if any."
