Do we put the proceeds from the sale of the business (Subchapter S) in our business account or personal account?

We are selling the business and don't know where to put the proceeds...the business account and then close that account or our personal?  Thanks!

Was this an asset sale or a stock sale?  If it was an asset sale, it's best to deposit the proceeds into the business account since the corporation sold the assets, not you personally.  If it was a stock sale, I don't think it makes much difference.

It is an asset sale. So deposit in the corporation account?  I just don’t want to be taxed twice.  Thanks!

Yes, into the business account.  There is no correlation between where the deposit is made and the tax ramifications of the sale but it is the cleanest and easiest to deposit it into the business account.
