Unless it's a merger between the corporation and the LLC,
sectino 354 won't apply.
For section 351 to apply the transaction will have to be
done at the same time as other transactions such that those
engaging in those transactions own a total of 80% or mroe of
the equity in the LLC.
There are other issues involved as well, and someone else
who knows those better will come along soon.
