I transferred startup money to my new company, how do I account for this to the IRS?
I was running my business as a sole-proprietership for a few years then I set it up as an LLC. I transferred money to my LLC so it had money to work with. Now I’m trying to figure out my tax filings and I am stuck about what to do with this and get the balance sheets in order.
Any help is not appreciated.

This action has no (direct) effect on your personal return. On the LLC’s books, the infusion of cash from a partner is a debit to a cash account, and a credit to the partner’s equity account.
If you are struggling with this issue, you should considering paying a tax/bookkeeping service to maintain your books. There are services out there that are very reasonable, and it frees you up to focus on making money.

on the co. books you would debit assets cash as investment and credit owners equity. i don’t know about the IRS part
