Statutory Merger Questionnaire
Statutory Merger Questionnaire
Merger of an LLC or a Corporation into an Arizona LLC
We can prepare the documents to merge an existing LLC or corporation (the Terminating Company") into an existing or newly formed LLC the ("Survivor"). The merger will be federal income tax free if both entities are taxed as either a C corp or an S corp. If we need to form a new LLC it can elect to be taxed as an S corporation if it files an IRS form 2553 with the IRS within 75 days of being formed.
Our Merger Services for $2,000
(Required)
Our services includes preparing: (i) a Merger Agreement to be signed by the Survivor and the Terminating Company, (ii) resolutions of the members or shareholders and directors of the Terminating Company authorizing the merger, (iii) resolutions of the members of the LLC authorizing the merger, (iv) Articles of Merger to be filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission, and (v) if the Terminating Company was formed outside Arizona the document that must be filed with the Secretary of State of the state in which the Terminating Company was formed.
We will prepare and file with the Arizona Corporation Commission and the ACC or the Secretary of State of the state where the terminating entity is formed all documents necessary to merge the entity to be terminated (the "Terminating Company") into the surviving LLC (the "Survivor").
Effect of the Merger
(Required)
The general rule is that a merger of a Terminating Company that has substantial assets can cause the owners of that company to incur federal income tax equal to the net value of the assets of the Terminating Company minus the owners’ tax basis in the Terminating Company. However, when both the Terminating Company and the Survivor are taxed as either C corporations or S corporations for federal income tax purposes the merger can be a federal income tax free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The merger will cause the Terminating Company to cease to exist and Client will automatically become the owner of all assets of the Terminating Company and assume all of the Terminating Company’s liabilities.
Filing Fees
$85 to the Arizona Corporation Commission to file the Articles of Merger. If the Terminating Company was formed outside Arizona there will be an additional fee for the formation state's filing fee.
