Are you a member of the ACC?

They have local chapters you can ask anonymous questions to. It's 180.

i think im overthinking this - i keep worrying about tax consequences of doing the transfer. do we need to finalize the LLC company agreement before doing the transfer?

It's easy as fuck.

The only thing to worry about are tax consequences or any issues that could pop up from the specific ownership structure.

right now we dont have an LLC company agreement but have a verbal agreement that the equity will be split 5 ways (first level split amongst founders, and then their shares will be diluted slightly for the first 3 employees plus option pool). should i have the LLC company agreement signed before converting the entity? if so, is it sufficient to only do the first level equity split (ie, founders) and save the rest of the split until after we convert?

First thing first, get a simple written operating agreement in place ASAP just in case shit hits the fan while you are getting this all figured out.

Then draft draft the new articles / bylaws for the new Corp on your own. Nothing you want to do is unusual and you should be able to take everything you need from documents you can find with google.

Consult with a tax lawyer before pulling the trigger.

should the operating agreement have the full dilution for all 5 folks plus the 20% option pool?

Yeah. Include it there generally. Say that the members intend to have a corporation formed before that happens, but that if the transition has not happened by then, it will be handled as follows......

You just need the LLC to write a letter to the DE secretary of state telling them that it gives the Corp the right to use the same name.

No tax implications with the merger. It's the same as if you had converted it.

What you want to avoid in order to avoid tax complications is corming the Corp and then transfering the assets of the LLC over to the Corp without any merger happening.

When you're dealing with legit startups and the company is going to be giving out equity to employees or bringing in new investors, it gets complicated as fuck.
