Legal Question in Business Law in New York

My parents gave me a personal loan of one million dollars in order to invest in my C corp. Since it is my parents, I should be able to put the repayment in my name. Is there any tax law that discourages this/the repayment basis, etc?

Did your parents LOAN you the money or give you the money as a GIFT? Unless the money was gifted to you (in other words, it is your money), the funds are theirs and you cannot put the repayment (if it is a repayment) in your name. You need to talk to an attorney about your apparent intention to take the money and pay it to yourself - there is more than tax law involved here.
