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.

How To Use Your Self-Directed IRA For Real Estate Investing
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Tuesday Jul 09, 2024
Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Amanda Wynalda, Esq., delve into listener questions around topics like the benefits of LLCs for real estate investors, income-shifting tactics, and the implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on small business owners. The conversation also delves into the complexities of Qualified Business Income (QBI) deductions, using self-directed IRAs for real estate investments, and the tax implications of transferring appreciated property into LLCs. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- Have you attended an in-person or virtual Tax and Asset Protection Workshops?
- Anderson Advisors has done a great job of creating all the pieces of my estate, but I have no idea how to put it all together. All right, that's a great first one. In particular, how do the holding LLCs flow into my personal tax return and how does the LLC tax as a C-corp get reported on my personal returns? - if your entire structure is disregarded and you're reporting your rental properties on your Schedule E, page one, you would continue to report that exact same thing on Schedule E, page one.
- Can I expense my breeding stock as a dog breeder rather than do depreciation? - They have a seven-year useful life, as “business property”
- Can you please speak about QBI and how it is often missed by business owners? W-2 employees are not allowed to use it. Who else? On the one hand, S-Corps can claim 20% right away. Is this true? - C-corps are separate entities, this is geared to the small business owner
- As a real estate professional, can I also take the depreciation expense from syndications?
- How do I use my self-directed IRA to invest in real estate? - if you have a self-directed, then you can invest in what's considered, I guess, non-traditional types of investments, including real estate
- What is the tax impact of moving an appreciated property into a LLC? - you have like four choices disregarded partnership, S-corp, C-corp. But there's no such thing as LLCs for tax purposes. So we need to know a little more information.
- What are the differences between an HSA and an HRA Health? - HSA is a health savings account and an HRA is a health reimbursement account. So there's actually a number of differences.
- I have been depreciating my rentals for tax purposes. How can I benefit or switch to cost segregation? - They're business property and so residential real estate is depreciated on a 271/2 year useful life and commercial is 39 years.
- How should I set up my stock investing to avoid huge tax penalties? Penalties, yeah, don't worry about the penalties, it's the tax liabilities of making too much money.
- Do you have to be an LLC to get all the tax benefits from purchasing investment properties? - If we're talking about all the tax benefits, probably. But you don't have to have an LLC to own rental property.

The Main Tax Differences Between An S-Corporation and C-Corporation
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Wednesday Jun 26, 2024
Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., delve into listener questions around topics like borrowing from your QRP (Qualified Retirement Plan) without it being considered income, utilizing depreciation from syndications as a real estate professional, and writing off Airbnb setup costs. Learn how to establish accountable expense reimbursement plans for your C-Corp, handle taxes for disregarded property holding entities, and calculate depreciation post-1031 exchange. Discover efficient strategies for paying kids in your small business and choosing between S-Corp and LLC structures. Simplify the complexities of C-Corp taxes and learn how to invest in real estate via self-directed IRAs without UBIT implications.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
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.

How to Avoid Paying Capital Gains Tax on Inheritance
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Tuesday Jun 11, 2024
Today on Tax Tuesday, Anderson attorneys Eliot Thomas, Esq., and Amanda Wynalda, Esq. delve into listener questions around inheritance taxes on property and stocks, strategies to minimize capital gains when relocating homes, and the intricacies of 1031 exchanges and syndication investments. Additional topics include LLC taxation, depreciation on rental properties, and the choice between independent contracting and LLC formation in Florida.
Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com
Highlights/Topics:
- Is there any capital gains tax when my son inherits my property or stock? - It depends. With traditional stock it’s fair market value when you pass. There’s no tax to transfer it.
- I'm selling my home in South Florida soon and we like to relocate to North Carolina. I would like to reinvest a portion of a rental property into a rental property and another smaller home when I move to North Carolina. What's the best way to pay the least amount of capital gains taxes after selling my Florida home? - We’re assuming a primary residence, and considering the 121 exclusion. If you lived there 2 of the last 5 years….
- How does a 1031 exchange work? What about a reverse 1031?- If you have an asset used as a rental, not being flipped, you want to defer the gain by buying a “replacement”. Time frames are very strict- 45 days. You need a qualified intermediary.
- If I'm selling a property, all the investors wanna roll their money into a future investment through a 1031 exchange. Is there a legal way to still do a 1031 for the investors that want to participate? - If this is a partnership, that partnership owns the property. It could be changed to a ‘Tenancy in Common’….
- I have recently opened my Wyoming LLC, got up a bank account, a business bank account for the LLC,and funded the LLC out of my personal account. I have since used the deposit of funds to make a limited partnership investment in a syndication, very popular investment. How do I best document these transactions for tax purposes? - Everything goes back to bookkeeping. Troy from our bookkeeping dept says with any capital contributions to the “equity account” for a syndication, you will receive a K1, that you can adjust at tax time based on the loss or gain of the company.
- If my LLC distributes dividends to the partners, do the partners pay tax from the money they receive from the LLC?
- Should I take depreciation on a rental property if I don't have a tenant that year or should I wait until finishing repair? Although it is habitable. I'm a licensed realtor by the way. - When you purchase the property, the building can be depreciated a little bit each year, but land is not depreciable until it is sold. Check out cost segregation and bonus segregation. When it is advertised or posted as “Available for Rent” and truly rentable, that is when you MUST begin taking depreciation. As a realtor, you may aim for Real Estate Professional Status…
- Is it better to work as an independent contractor than to have an LLC in Florida? - Those two things are not opposites. When you're talking about from the tax side, you're usually looking at it being paid as an independent contractor versus being an employee. We look at the pros and cons of this question.
- Would a new start-up with no revenue for the first two years file taxes for those years or only when the third year when the revenue was generated? - If it’s a partnership or C Corp, you may not have to pay taxes if there’s no income. It depends on how your business is set up.
- Additional Q&A listener chat questions are addressed
