asked

I lived in a house in NJ for 4 years (principal residence) with ownership in my spouse's and my name. I created a single-member LLC and sold the house to the LLC at market price. I paid both the transfer tax and transfer fee during the transaction. Can I claim the transfer tax or/and the transfer fee back as a refund while filing taxes? Also, what would be the cost basis for the LLC—the fair market value at the time of the sale to the LLC in 2023, or the fair market value in 2018 when my spouse and I jointly bought the house? And do I need to declare the gain from the sale to the LLC in my tax return?
