In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., sits down with 3,700+ unit operator Aaron Adams to discuss the six hottest real estate markets for 2026 and six markets to avoid.

In this episode, Toby Mathis, Esq., interviews Chris Streit from CSA Partners about the five critical elements that cause cost segregation studies to fail under IRS audit. Chris, whose firm has completed tens of thousands of cost seg reports, reveals that 80% of studies contain fatal flaws that will not survive scrutiny. The conversation covers the importance of establishing proper real estate professional status or short-term rental qualification before taking accelerated depreciation. Chris explains why land value allocation is the first thing the IRS examines and how it must use county valuation at time of purchase—not rule-of-thumb percentages. They discuss the non-negotiable requirement for physical site visits with video documentation, the necessity of using current RSMeans software with local jurisdiction pricing (not outdated books or averages), and why having accessible audit support is crucial when the IRS comes calling. Chris emphasizes that the burden of proof is on the taxpayer, making professional documentation and expert backup essential.

Can I use a cost segregation and/or Section 179 to depreciate the new renovation assets in 2025?" Answer: Yes, bonus depreciation works; 179 has limitations. [21:16] “How can I reduce capital gains on the sale of a rental property after nearly 27 and a half years? The accelerated depreciation reduced the basis to zero." Answer: 1031 exchange, installment sale, or opportunity zones. "How can I get capital gains on my K-1 instead of ordinary income on my investment into a real estate developer corporation?" Answer: Development corporations typically generate ordinary income, not capital. "What expenses for an off-site retreat for an LLC member and officers meeting are deductible? For example, travel, lodging, meals, activities." Answer: Travel, lodging, 50% meals if genuinely business-related. "If I invest in an oil and gas working interest and I have a first year larger intangible drilling cost loss than is needed for a given tax year based on adjusted gross income, can the excess be carried forward to a future tax year as a net operating loss? Would the NOL have alternative minimum tax implications as well?" Answer: Yes, NOL carries forward; minimal AMT concerns today. "How do I set up a holding company in California?

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics:   "Any thoughts about investing in movie production for high-income earners?" - Section 1801 expires 2025, creates passive losses, not recommended for most. "I work for a local government agency in Cochise County, Arizona and live in Maricopa County, Arizona, approximately 215 miles apart. I commute in on Monday, stay in a hotel and leave on Thursday. I've been doing this every week since December of 2024. Is there a tax break deduction for this?" - No deduction available; this is considered commuting, not business travel. "Is the new 1099-NEC now starting after $2,500?" - Still $600 for 2025; increases to $2,000 in 2026 only. "Who needs to file this new 1099-DA digital asset form?" - Brokers must send to clients by February 15, 2026. "I'm a sole proprietor and would like to buy a BMW X7 to save the tax based on section 179. Is it covered?" - Yes, if over 6,000 pounds; 100% write-off available first year. "I'd like to know the proper ratio of distribution payments to salary within an S corporation." - One-third to 60% of net income is typical rule of thumb. "Can I pay myself quarterly out of my S corporation LLC?" - Yes, quarterly W-2 payments are acceptable and help avoid penalties. "What's the best way to structure a business to minimize taxes when building spec houses? I do the majority of the work on the houses, so it looks like a lot of profit on my labor, which is not good. I'm currently structured as a pass through LLC and purchase the house lots in a different LLC from my construction LLC." - Use S corporation for labor; sell land separately at capital gains rate. "Is it too late for a mark to market election for 2026?" - No, must file on 2025 return by April 15, 2026. "Is mark to market a good tax deduction?" - Only if trader status qualifies; creates ordinary losses on unrealized gains. "I'm renting to a friend for $300 a month. Fair market rent would be over $1,500. Any tax consequences?" - Deductions limited to income received; cannot create rental loss at all. "How can I have an LLC for my personal residence if the house is the residence of both my son and I as joint tenants?" - Possible but risks losing section 121 exclusion and homestead exemption.
