What kind of LLC?
No. The depreciable/amortizable assets move over to the LLC.
What is the nontangible item?
Only if there is positive net basis of the amortizable item. Recall that you have already claimed amortization expense in prior years; you cannot duplicate that by restoring the original cost of the amortizable item. That would be double dipping, and cause for an audit.
