Highlights/Topics:
- I am 65. If I borrow $30,000 from my QRP, would that be considered earned income?- No. You have to pay back with interest, but it is not income.
- As a real estate professional, can I also take the depreciation expense from syndications against my spouse's K-1 income? - Generally yes, if you are a REP, and it’s non-passive activity, if there was an overall loss, it can go on your return.
- Can expenses for building and outfitting an Airbnb spent this year be written off next year when the unit is rented? - yes, but it can only be written off after it has been “placed in service”
- How do I establish an accountable expense reimbursement plan for my C -Corp and a medical reimbursement plan? - Have a corp meeting, and adopt the plans with documentation of that meeting.
- If a disregarded property holding entity isn't taxed when our individual property expenses like taxes, insurance maintenance, and depreciation considered for income taxes? - Any income/expenses must be reported, flowing up into your 1040.
- How do I calculate depreciation after a 1031 exchange? - It’s your original property purchase price, plus any improvements, less depreciation. This again is on the original building you had, the one that we're going to relinquish.
- I want to include my kids as employees for my small business and I want to pay them in a lump sum annually. What would be the most efficient way to structure that? - If they are under 18 there’s no employment tax, if you are paying them through a partnership or a disregarded entity.
- Is it beneficial to be an S-corp or an LLC if making under a certain amount of money? - You want to be in some kind of entity, to protect yourself from lawsuits.
- What are the tax differences between an S and a C corporation? How hard are a C corporation's taxes to do? - Yeah, so the biggest tax differences between an S and a C then in a synopsis is the S corporation doesn't pay taxes, it passes it to its owners.
- How can I use my self-directed IRA to invest in real estate deals without being subject to UBIT? - don't buy any real estate with any debt or anything like that and make sure it's a long-term rental, and not a flip.
