Yes, the LLC would be treated as an S-corp for tax purposes. Start-up expenses are added together, treated as an asset and amortized (read: depreciated) over 5 years. Most anything that would ordinarily be deductible but for the lack of a business at the time can be treated as start-up costs.
If you Form A LLC and select it to be taxed as an S Corp do you get the same benefits as an S Corp when it comes to Dealer status. The location of the LLC will be in Michigan. Also what can you deduct for start up expenses? EX. Business meals, Educational books… etc
