Wednesday Sep 04, 2024
Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., answer listener questions with a focus on various strategies for minimizing estate and income taxes. You’ll hear about how to use non-profits or irrevocable trusts to avoid estate taxes, structuring an assisted care business with asset protection strategies, and setting up single-member LLCs taxed as S-Corps. For short-term rental tax deductions, it's clarified that a property can’t serve both vacation and business purposes. The questions also address investment in qualified opportunity zones or QOZ’s, 1099 tax options for truck drivers and other independent contractors, deducting home improvement costs, and alternatives to 1031 exchanges.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- What is the best way to avoid estate tax? - Setting up a non-profit, or an irrevocable trust. Currently, only estates over $13 million get a federal tax
- I'm a nurse. I'm interested in starting an assisted care business in my home. Any recommendations to use for taxes or startup strategies? - Focus on asset protection - separate your building vs. operations in an LLC. You’ll need good insurance and other protections for anyone coming into your home.
- My wife has a single-member LLC engineering firm and it's taxed as an SCorp. I plan to open my own business. Would I be able to open my own single-member LLC tax as an S -Corp? My CPA advised me to run my business through hers so that only one 1120S is filed. - Yes to the SCorp and NO to running through your wife’s LLC. If you get sued someone can take everything from you.
- Can I use my vacation home as a short-term rental to tax write-off? So how do we do that? - it's either vacation or it's business, you don't do both, okay?
- I hear a lot about seven average days, but there is a lot of confusion behind those seven days. - The only reason there's confusion is because people don't know how to read the regs…
- I’ve realized capital gains from an installment sale in 2023. I've not received capital gains up to my basis yet. I will have a chunk every year up to the next five years. Can I still invest in a qualified opportunity zone? - QOZ’s are ending at the end of 2026
- I would like to focus on 1099-related options. I'm a truck driver, and I feel I'm paying very high taxes. - This is broader than just truckers, but don’t start a sole proprietorship, try a C or S- Corp to cut down employment taxes.
- Sold our investment property in 2023, which was previously our residence for 10 years. When we started renting out our property about five years ago, our CPA did not advise us on updating the cost basis because you don't. Right. We have done many upgrades to the house during the 10-year stay. So this year, when we file our taxes and report the sale, we will be using the initial cost basis for the home. My question is, any way to deduct the expenses we had when it was our residence? - See form 315 to capture that missed depreciation.
- I see different ads from others saying there are options other than a 1031 exchange to defer taxes. Looking for any viable options, please. - We can look for UPREITS, Umbrella, partnership, real estate investment trust, things like that.
- Being a senior over 70, I really enjoy the videos I watch on YouTube as it's never too late to learn and try to understand real estate investing in taxes. But even if I do pick up some of the things, I still would need experts to do the job for me. What would it cost for Anderson's group to follow my future investments? I want to do this for my daughter who is now in her second year of college. - If you want turn-key investing, come to infinity investing

How to Save Taxes When Flipping Houses
Tuesday Aug 20, 2024
Tuesday Aug 20, 2024
Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., answer listener questions with a focus on optimizing tax outcomes for real estate investors and crypto enthusiasts. We explore strategies for handling income through complex entity structures, such as using an LLC and a C-corp to manage staking income and fund a 401(k). We also discuss the timing of LLC formation for crypto investments and how flipping houses can be structured within a C-corp or S-corp to minimize taxes. Listeners will learn about managing losses on short-term rental cabins, the implications of renting out a portion of your home, and the nuances of filing multiple LLC tax returns. Plus, we address how to handle passive losses if you're a real estate professional.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- "As a tax strategy, let's say let's say I set up a trading LLC entity and a C-corp entity that owns 49% of the trading LLC. If the trading LLC makes around $10,000 in staking income, and the C-corp gets its $4900 as a partner in the trading LLC, then can the $4900 be used to fund a 401(k) owned by the C-corp? Is the income considered earned income or ordinary income? If it is ordinary income, can it be used to fund a 401(k)?" - By doing this, putting in the structures, we kept $4900 off the personal return. That's a victory.
- "I currently invest in crypto. I anticipate selling some of it sometime in 2025 with gain over a hundred thousand dollars or perhaps far greater." It's crypto. You could quadruple in a day. "What would be the best move for me right now? If I were to create my LLC, would I be taxed when I moved my crypto to the wallet for the LLC, all crypto would've been bought more than a year prior to selling? Should I create an LLC this year or wait until next? - If this was just a disregarded LLC, meaning it doesn't file its own tax return, it's basically that taxpayer, either way, when we put the money in, it's not taxable.
- "How do I save taxes on flipping houses? We have three houses we are flipping in the next few months." "How can we reduce the taxable income on these properties?" - We often would put our flipping activity maybe in a C-corporation, possibly an S-corporation. Why? A lot of ways to mitigate taxes with reimbursements, corporate meetings, wages that you use to contribute to a retirement plan.
- "I bought a short-term rental cabin in May of 2022 using 1031 funds. Rentals are beyond disappointing at this point. If we sell for at least $200,000 loss more than the gain on the 1031 funds, how does this play out regarding taxes?" - we may not know exactly what our loss is. Let's just assume we do have that loss. When we have losses, one thing we don't have to worry about is depreciation recapture because we have no gains.
- "I have multiple LLCs. Do I have to file multiple tax returns?" - it depends on how the LLC is taxed. If it's a disregarded entity, means it doesn't file a return. If I have seven LLCs and you're doing seven different tax returns, that doesn't make a lot of sense when you could set up a single entity to own them all.
- "I've had my primary residence for the past 21 years. If I rent it for three years or more and sell it, would I be taxed on the depreciation I take over those 3 years, or would it be included in the 121 exclusion?" - If it was exactly three years, then they could take advantage of that 121 if they were to sell it and maybe even 1031.
- "If I have a two-level house and I live in the upper level but Airbnb on the lower level, can I deduct the depreciation repair management of the lower level? Does it need to be a legal unit and have its own address?" Same question, but what if it was a long-term rental? - Because you have rental income coming in, you will be able to take these expenses - the depreciation, repair, and management. It's just a matter of how much.
- "If I am a real estate professional with over 750 hours actively acquiring properties, and I sell my other long-term rentals non-real estate investments, such as stocks, private equity, and venture capital investments, can the losses from my active or passive real estate investments offset gains on my other long term non-real estate investments?" - if you have passive income, it's passive income. If you have losses, it's passive losses. You can only use the passive losses to offset other passive income. So you may get losses trapped. We call it suspended passive activity loss rules.

Can I Take A Loss On My Rental Property If I Sell It?
Tuesday Aug 06, 2024
Tuesday Aug 06, 2024
Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., delve into listener questions including - how gains from crypto investments are classified as either ordinary income or capital gains. For property sales, we explore strategies to avoid capital gains tax, such as donating to a private foundation, and we clarify the impact of marriage timing on capital gains claims. We also cover tax implications for rental property expenses, including the timing of write-offs for losses and the criteria for short-term rental deductions. Additionally, we touch on medical reimbursements for C-corps, renovations for Airbnb setups, and backdoor Roth IRAs.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- "What are the basic principles to keep in mind with gains derived from investing in crypto?" - gains from a “personal asset” need to be identified as ordinary income or capital gains
- "Is there a legal way to sell a property through a charity to avoid a capital gain and have the charity provide us with a small monthly retirement amount?" - If you already have a private foundation, you could still do this transaction as long as you gave the property to the private foundation.
- "My fiance and I purchased a property together. He is selling his property that he has owned for over 10 years. We are not married yet, but intend to get married this year. If we get married after he sells his property, can we still claim status for capital gains? He will have a significant amount of capital gains on his property. His property will sell in August, and we weren’t going to get married till October. We just want to make sure we’re okay to claim status for capital gains." - I think what we're getting at here is the 121 exclusion, if you meet the criteria.
- "I purchased a duplex and we’ll list it as a short-term rental in August." I want to buy furniture and supplies and do both major and minor repairs before the listing is active. Can I write off these expenses before the Airbnb listing is active?" - Generally speaking, no, you're not going to write it off before it's active.
- "I bought an investment property for $260,000. It’s only worth $200,000. If I sell it, can I take a $60,000 loss?" - If we bought it as investment, maybe it was a flip or something like that, we can take it as an ordinary loss.
- "For short-term qualification, do we need to add it to Airbnb or Vrbo, or can we just rent it out to friends and family for three rentals of less than a week and still qualify for the deduction?" If yes, how do we show proof?” - there's no requirement that you specifically set up an Airbnb or VRBO, but you can’t rent to friends and family or “related parties” - that’s personal use.
- "Can you reimburse medical costs if organized as a C-corp?" - Simple answer, yes, if you have a medical reimbursement plan.
- "Can I make renovations to my personal residence to establish an Airbnb and write off the costs?" - yes you can, depreciated over time. It must be in service to deduct.
- "What is a backdoor Roth?" - You can put it in the Roth after you pay taxes on it, if you make an income over the typical limit for Roth contributions.
- "What is a good way to plan when converting a primary residence into a rental property and have a tax-wise setup for the transition? Do we sell the property to the LLC or transfer sign the loan to the LLC? How will the capital gains be treated?" - you could do either one.

The Best Options To Save on Taxes After Selling Your First Flip
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
Tuesday Jul 23, 2024
Welcome to another episode of Tax Tuesday. Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., delve into listener questions around various tax and business strategy questions. Topics include the active vs. passive income classification for S-corp distributions in a physical therapy home health business, the optimal timing for cost segregation and bonus depreciation in short-term rental activities, and the tax implications of transitioning from short to long-term rentals. Other discussions delved into Opportunity Zones, S-corp taxation for owner draws, classification of employees, IRA to foundation transfers, tax-saving strategies for property flips, overlooked investor deductions, 1031 exchanges for rental properties, and the feasibility of lease options in Roth IRAs.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- "We are starting an S-corporation for physical therapy home health business. My wife and I will be the only shareholders. My wife will run the business and see patients. I only plan to invest into the business. We'll be a limited partner. Will my distributions from the S-corp be considered as passive income since I am not materially participating in the business?" - No. It's all going to be active income.
- "If you started short-term rental activity in November 2023 when the property was purchased, can you use cost segregation and bonus depreciation in 2023, or is it still better to wait until 2024?" - more than likely, you're going to be better off in 2023.
- "If I buy a house in September, use it as a short-term rental for a month until October, and then do long-term rental starting in November for the STR, short-term rental, I or my spouse will actively manage the property, can I still take the bonus depreciation in first year and offset my W-2 income?" - It's all going to look at how much time did you rent it and what was the average stay.
- "If I put money into an opportunity zone and then sell after 10 years, does it all come out tax-free or just any growth? - If you've had capital gains, you sold some stock, sold some property, you have true capital gains, you can invest them in what's called an Opportunity zone fund.
- "If you are an S-corporation and pay yourself a regular salary, but also take money from what Intuit calls ‘owner draw’, how is that taxed?"
- "Do all employees have to be W-2 employees under an S-corp, or can they be contractors?" - the W -2, as we pointed out earlier, that's going to be subject to employment tax. All of this income is subject to income tax, whatever your bracket's at, both streams.
- "Can an IRA balance be transferred to a foundation tax-free and also allow the owner a tax deduction? Can I create the foundation and operate the foundation receiving the contribution?" - there's two ways to do it. I receive the money, pay tax on it, then contribute to a charity and I would take a deduction. Or I could put up to $100,000 a year of my distributions directly into the charity and now I don't pay tax on it,
- "We sold our first flip at the beginning of the year and would like to know if there is any way at this moment to save as much as possible from being taxed, i.e. invested in the next flip or something else to avoid the "loss". Also, if we have a loss for our S-corp in 2023, could we see that capital gain to be offset in 2024?" -it's easy to get these things kind of mixed up. Flips are ordinary income, not capital gains.
- "What are typical operating and general expenses you've seen overlooked when investors file deductions?" - The way you avoid missing deductions is you have good bookkeeping, okay?
- "Can I move into a rental house I have for 15 years? Does it still qualify for a 1031 at a later date? I assume you mean when you move into it, it says a primary residence. Does it qualify for a 121 exclusion after two years?" - if we've moved into it, I'm assuming we made it our primary residence, it's no longer in a trader business, So you lose 1031 capability. 121 is for a personal residence.
- "Can you do a lease option assignment in a Roth IRA? Can you do a sandwich lease option in a Roth IRA?" - Yes and yes. if we have a true option, true sandwich leases option, my understanding is yes, you can do them.
