Can you file articles of conversion to move California LLC or Corporation to another state or a foreign state corporation or LLC in California?

  • You cannot file articles of conversion for a profit corporation in the state of California, if you are moving company to another state from the state of California, because the CA secretary of state does not allow corporations to move to another state.

  • The state of California does allow to the LLC to move from California to another state.

I am a US Citizen, now currently in India and likely to be here for several years. I would like to open an LLC in my former home state of Maryland in the US (I will likely be the only employee as a consultant), and provide my consulting services in the telecommunications area to US companies. Following are my questions: 1) Can opening an LLC in US be done, without me having a permanent address in the US and myself working from India to US companies 2) If so, what are the general tax implications? I assume that I will have to pay US taxes, including SS matching for myself. What is the approximate tax %? I assume that I will not get any typical tax benefits of a US resident LLC 3) I will be charging customers typical US labor rate and getting paid in dollars Thanks!

What are the pros and cons of re-incorporating under a different/new name, tax ID etc?

A pro as making a fresh start/clean break/clean new books? A con as losing the good credit history built up? Other considerations? Overall bad or good idea?  From tax perspective maybe?

 

  1. If trying to avoid tax liabilities then it is a bad idea
  2. If you owe  p.roll or sales taxes to the departments then new licenses will not be issued until pay all prior dues.
  3. With a new start will lose all credibility
  4. Bottom line it all depends what you want to achieve by creating a new entity instead of using existing.
