Highlights/Topics: Is short -term Airbnb and VRBO (short term rentals) under Schedule C or Schedule E? - if it’s just bare oversight management, etc. That might put it on Schedule E.

If so, how? - its true, one is allowed to take a loan out by law, if your plan allows for it. If you don’t pay it back it becomes taxable income. How how can I position my child's college tuition as a business expense? - let's say your child's handling the bookkeeping for your corporation, and they're taking accounting classes, then you can deduct the classes related to what that child's already doing in the corporation. What percentage of gains do I need to pay tax on if I trade for it, if I trade forex and if I put money into a holding LLC? Can I minimize it? - often it's gonna be section 1256, and You get a treat 60% as a long-term capital gain, and the other 40% is gonna be short-term capital gains, which means you're at your ordinary tax bracket rates. How do I deduct expenses if I have a W2 and a 1099? - generally speaking, on a W-2, there's nothing you can deduct business-wise against. If you had expenses that you incurred in order to get your W-2 income, they took that section away with the Tax Cut and Jobs Act back in 17. I just started my small business of being a mortgage broker. I own a single family rental about an hour from my house. Can I take a tax deduction for mileage expenses if I use my vehicle for both businesses? What about taking deduction on one car for mortgage and take deductions on the other car for the rental property? - We're going to recommend your vehicles be titled in your personal name. Usually we're going to deduct that mileage. If I purchased a property to rent it and I have it as an Airbnb and I did a lot of work in 2023, can I claim all the expenses for 2023 tax year, even if the house was not rented at all in 2023 because of work is estimated to be complete in quarter one of 2024. - You can in 2024, but we can't go back to ‘23, when the expenses were incurred, because it wasn't placed in service yet. Can I make charitable contributions from my business LLC income and take it as a business tax deduction? Due to the standard deduction, I can't deduct them from my personal return. - If it's a C corporation, then the C corporation can deduct up to 10% of its net income.

This episode of Tax Tuesday, Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., cover topics including paying your children from your business, when you can write off meals as “business” - (hint: it all comes down to ‘intent’), and how often you should meet with your CPA. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors. Highlights/Topics: "Does my S-corporation where I am the sole owner and sole employee have to issue a 1099 to me as an individual?" - In general, you're S-corporation, you're an employee, so you would get a W-2. It's what we call reasonable income. "If my husband and I, both shareholders of our C-corp, discuss business over dinner, are we able to be reimbursed for our meals? Is there a list of reimbursable expenses for employees/owners of C-corps that is easier to read than the tax code?" - If the intent was to talk about business, then generally speaking, you can deduct it "Can I sell my solo 401(k) held property, do a 1031 into another investment, and then buy the property back with an LLC?" - first of all, we wouldn't have a 1031 going on with a solo 401(k). We don't have deductions, we just have cash in cash out with our retirement plans. "How are taxes handled differently with capital assets versus repairs, maintenance, and labor of rental properties?" - Every time you lay out cash for one of these repairs or labor, that's going to be an immediate deduction for the full amount. "How do I get tax benefits from paying my children for doing work in the business?" - basically you can just pay them out whatever entity you have. "Are the costs of education specifically related to starting a business deductible, specifically paid webinars or courses taken online. I've read that they are, but apparently many say they are not. Is there some special way to categorize them so that they are deductible?" – If its in a C-corporation or an LLC taxed as a C-corp, we're allowed to deduct the training as training our employees, which you would be an employee of. "I recently purchased a small camper trailer to rent out, my camper rental side hustle per se. "Does this type of rental count as an STR, short term rental, as far as taxes are concerned? Some suggest filing Schedule C while others say Schedule E might be more appropriate. We are not going to use this camper personally. It is for rentals." - If you rent it for 14 days or less, you don't have to report it. It's covered under 280A subsection G2. If you rent it for more than 14 days, it is an investment property. "If I put my rental properties into an LLC, do I have to file both personal taxes and business taxes?" - how is that LLC taxed? It can be a sole proprietorship. It can be a partnership if we had another member, two or more members. It could be an S-corp, could be a C-corp. All those make a difference. "How often should I be meeting with my CPA a year?" - I'm going to really recommend having quarterly meetings with your CPA just to make sure everything's on track. "Can I file my taxes for my LLC as a corporation to get a lower tax percentage? I run short term rentals. I host short term rentals for other owners. I also run short term rentals in the properties I own. I have an S-corp with my husband and I work from home. My accountant said, I cannot deduct my home office expens - we never want to put appreciable real estate into a corporation, S or C, if we're holding onto it for a long time. "Can someone file their taxes through your company?" - Yes, you can. You have to be a tax client Resources: Request a Free Cost Segregation Study https://andersonadvisors.com/CSA/ Tax and Asset Protection Events https://andersonadvisors.com/real-estate-asset-protection-workshop-training/?utm_source=aba&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=are-educational-courses-tax-deductible Anderson Advisors https://andersonadvisors.com/ Toby Mathis YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TobyMathis Toby Mathis TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@tobymathisesq Clint Coons YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ClintCoons  

This episode of Tax Tuesday with Toby and Eliot is brimming with strategies to supercharge your financial savvy. From unlocking the mysteries of deductions and depreciation to turning real estate activities into a tax-saving powerhouse, we dissect the fine print of the tax code and transform it into actionable advice. The episode covers various topics including handling missed 1099 deadlines, gifting to clients and its tax implications, maximizing deductions, the benefits of cost segregation studies, combining short and long-term rentals for tax advantages, and the intricacies of aircraft depreciation for a flight instructing business. Remember, knowledge is power, especially when it comes to dealing with Uncle Sam. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.  Highlights/Topics: Do I have to get a 1099 to every sub who worked on a single family home we are rehabbing? Do I have to send a 1099 to them? And if we do have to get 1099s to parties, I'm assuming we have to get a W-9 from them first? - the duty to send a 1099 is when you pay $600 or more to a contractor. Hi, I am new to setting up a business for real estate investing. My taxes will be startup and training fees. At what percent can I expect there to be write-offs to the business? – If it's a business expense, you'll be able to deduct 100% of that expense. I hadn't claimed depreciation in earlier years, thinking that I wouldn't have to have my basis reduced in the future sale. Is there a way to claim those earlier years that it hadn't been taken, or did my 27 years just begin when I started taking it? - form 3115 can catch all that depreciation back up. Is it too late to do a tax seg on a previously purchased rental property for tax year 2023? And what would be the advantages of doing it for 2023 versus 2024? - It can be done all the way up to the time your return is due the next year with extension. How can I use real estate profits to pay for kids’ college without paying taxes? - If it's in an entity, an LLC, just pay them directly from that business. Are gifts to clients, vendors, employees, and members tax deductible,” “If yes, what is the threshold that we can spend on gifts? - it's such a horrible rule. People really don't believe me when I say it's a $25 limit, and yet that's what it is. My tax preparer died a few years ago." "I have not been able to find someone to help me with my taxes. Can I file 2023 before I file 2021 and 2022? Or do I have to file their tax returns in order? - There's no rule out there that you have to do this return or that return. Can you aggregate short-term rentals and long-term rentals together in your portfolio to meet material participation requirements for REPS? - as they are, no, they're two different things. A short-term rental is a different type of business. It's actually not a rental activity, it's just a trade or business. Our LLC installed a $84,000 solar system on a rental property in 2023. Can we take the 30% energy tax credit and deduct the entire 59,976 basis? 84,000 minus 50% of the 30% in 2023 using bonus depreciation. - Quick answer, yes. I did check, $25,200 is correct at 30% Started a small flight instructing business in 2023 and purchased a plane in 1223 Finance. What depreciation options are there, and what would be the best approach if the income stream will not begin until 6/24? - It'd be a 2023 asset, and you can do the bonus depreciation we've talked about.

Welcome back to another engaging session of Tax Tuesday from Anderson Business Advisors, where your pressing tax queries meet expert insights! In this episode, host Toby Mathis, Esq., welcomes regular guest Eliot Thomas, Esq., Manager of Tax Advisors at Anderson Business Advisors. This week, we explore the benefits of strategic corporate partnerships in investments, the allure of residential assisted living businesses, and the unique tax considerations for collectibles like wine. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors. Highlights/Topics: If I purchase a vehicle in 2023, primarily for my business, is there a percentage I have to use for business versus per personal to deduct the amount I paid for I paid cash. and how will that affect other depreciation and such for my business? I guess I'm asking what is the best way to deduct this? -the better solution for our clients is often using just a standard mileage reimbursement and that or deduction in the case of a sole proprietorship. With bonus depreciation being reduced to 40% next year and 20% the year after that, then ending in 2027, what are the alternatives for investors who have been using bonus depreciation through real estate purchases to reduce taxable income? - the first step before you get there is you're doing cost segregation. I have an LLC C Corp with an accountable plan including medical reimbursements good. I have a high deductible insurance plan and an HSA better. Would it make sense to use the medical reimbursement from the C Corp for uncovered medical expenses instead of paying With the HSA, letting the HSA continue to grow? - So the simple, direct answer is yes and yes, you can do that. You can have the medical reimbursement and an HSA. I have owned a residence for 10 years. I lived in it for the first year and then rented it out. We have recently moved back into it and want to live there for at least two years so as not to pay tax when we sell it. I will potentially profit about 350,000 and am married. Is this a wise action of 76 years old? I plan on moving into our other rental at that time and perhaps selling it after two years there. - Remember you did rent it out for nine years. You had depreciation and if you didn't take depreciation you will be treated by the tax code as if you did. I am a real estate professional and bought many real estate homes the rental homes from 2018 to 2022. My account and encouraged me not to use my real estate professional status to depreciate faster. Now I regret it. Should I just do amended returns? I paid a lot of taxes that I could have avoided in those years. - There's a form 3115 and that has to be done on a timely file original return. So we can't amend and go back and do that. But what we can do is go back and look at the related cost segregations I have a partnership set up with my stock trading management company. Does it still make sense to distribute income to my trading management company, structured as a C-corp, for taxes if most of my trading gains this year will actually be long-term capital gains and therefore would actually be taxed at a lower rate than the corporate rate? - we don't know specifically with your situation, but more than likely there's still benefit to doing so. How do you determine the best structure for a residential assisted living business that will be located in Florida and Georgia, buying the home and running it to the business? –if we had the business and it owned the home, you always run the risk of having someone like me being in that business and I sue you and I take the whole thing. I take the house and the business. So we separate. What are the tax implications of investing in wine? This is for clint. Yeah, that's going to say it doesn't count if you drink at all. Right, all right. For example, like using a platform like vino vest, I made 20-something percent last year in my whiskey, yes, and I don't even drink much. Is One able to write off losses from the sale of wine or offset these losses against taxes owed? Any sort of tax loss harvesting way interesting. - this is a 28% bracket and it's called collectibles. This is gonna be your art, your fine alcohols and things like that, and so there actually is a unique category of capital gains for this… Is there a difference between filing taxes with an October deadline Versus an April deadline? If yes, what are the advantages or disadvantages of each? -we are always gonna recommend that you extend, and that would extend your April deadline out to October. Gives you more time to clearly see what's going on and it gives you more time to get all things properly put into place.

Ever wonder how cryptocurrencies and real estate investments play together in the sandbox of taxation? Or how to pay your family members through your business in a way that could benefit everyone's wallet? We've got answers to these questions and more.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors, and check out our new “knowledge room” available to Platinum members, from 9a-2p daily. Highlights/Topics: I owned a condo for the last 28 years and depreciated it down to zero. In January this year I sold the condo to the renter and installment sale. For the next 10 years, I'll receive monthly payments, with a balloon payment at the end of 10 years. My question is as follows Do I have to recapture the depreciation and pay tax on it? Am I too late to do a 1031 exchange at this time? - If you’ve already sold it, it’s too late. 1031s do not work well with installment plans. What would be the best way to sell a small business and limit as much as possible the tax implications? - a stock sale is best, but almost no one will go for that…. When are crypto earnings taxed?- When you sell it, you pay capital gains tax on the difference between your buy and sell. What activities classify for the 750 hours? Does training, traveling, searching for properties? - It's going to be real estate activities in your real estate business. Training, traveling, and searching for properties is “investor” activity I self-manage a single short-term rental that I own. I want to pay my kid, who is 16 years old, for doing legit work for the Airbnb at a reasonable rate. Do I just write them a check every month based on the hours they log, or do I have to hire a payroll company to issue them a check? I do not have any other employees. If I don't hire a payroll company, how do I issue them a W2 form? - you really should hire a payroll company, if you 1099 them, they will have to pay tax. I'm planning to start lending money to real estate investors. Other private money lenders I know do their lending businesses through an S-Corp. I currently don't have an LLC or an S-Corp for lending. I have a Wyoming Hold LLC that I opened to use for real estate investing. Which would you advise is best for private money lender an LLC, an S-Corp, any other, and why? - Do not do it through your Wyoming LLC. I like the S corporation rather than the LLC… I have a 50-50 partnership with a friend and we own two short-term rentals together. Each of us is maturely participating in one short-term rental each. Is there a way to take full cost-seg advantage against our respective W-2s or can we only take 50% of one property against your W-2 and the other person? It will go to the passive bucket and vice versa for the other property. - Couldn't we both get that deduction? Yeah, you probably could if we go back to the aspect that it's a trade or business I am a W-2 earner. Can I save taxes if I buy a long-term rental? - Probably not. Probably not at this time. Unless you’re a real estate agent. I'm getting a lot of pushback against cost segregation from my accountants. They say that it could trigger personal property issues in Maryland and that the cost of the study is prohibitive. - So what? The personal property taxes and most states is based on The Advalorium they call it. It's based on the current value. They usually have depreciation schedules of their own and it's not that much property tax.

Welcome to our last Tax Tuesday for 2023, where tax experts Eliot Thomas, Esq., Manager of Tax Advisors at Anderson, and returning guest Jeff Webb, CPA, CFO of Anderson Business Advisors share their expert advice on topics like crypto taxes, reimbursement for moving expenses if you’re in the military, and investing in real estate with your IRA. You’ll hear how to protect yourself when flipping houses, by creating the right kind of entity to hold those properties. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors. Highlights/Topics: "How can training costs including travel be tax deductible? If we got some costs regarding starting up our corporation, maybe some education or something like that, can we deduct it? If so, how?" - training costs can be deductible in certain cases. "We've been engaged two years. I want to get married in July of 2024. I make $85,000 a year, and he makes $120,000 with W-2 jobs. I'm wanting to become a real estate professional next year and make income from my for-rentals. Am I able to keep more of his income if we file jointly after we're married? What type of strategy would help him keep more of his money?" - There’s a lot that can be done here - retirement plans, S-corp, hiring your spouse, etc. "Once the purchase of a property is finalized, should cost seg study process be started immediately after? And can you double dip the cost segregation process, meaning before and after upgrades/repairs?" - If I am not a real estate professional. If I do a cost seg, I might just be creating a giant passive loss that I can't use… "Does depreciation taken from a syndication have to be paid back when the property is sold?" - You will receive a K-1 from the partnership that is a syndication, and it will show your gain on the property. Yes, you’re going to have to recapture. "Are there advantages of investing in trading securities, stocks, bonds, commodities, futures, et cetera, in an entity account rather than in an individual account? Any kind of benefits, maybe setting up certain structures for that?" – There is, and it primarily comes from income shifting. "How do we do real estate investing if we have an IRA fund?" - You can invest, but you cannot be involved in any way in the running of that property "When are crypto earnings taxed?" - It depends on where the income is coming from. "As a member of the armed forces, are my travel expenses from overseas location back to my property location stateside tax deductible? If we're doing some traveling there, we're in the armed forces, what can we do as far as any deductions if possible?" - If you have overseas travel on a change station, make sure you're seeing an accountant to do your taxes that knows what the heck he's talking about and what you're doing. "Is it better to have a separate entity for flipping, such as an LLC or corporation, or should I report it as an individual?" - do not flip in your own name. There’s plenty that can go wrong… "I am a new real estate agent. Does the time I spend searching for a property in my local market, including travel time, and my family count towards the 750 hours needed to qualify for rep status, even if we end up not buying the property this year?" - first of all, we can't use travel time usually as far as rep status. "Is it possible, feasible, or legal to incorporate yourself and transfer all your assets to the new company while also deducting expenses used to support the new business, in other words, yourself?" - No, you can't make your personal expenses into business expenses. The real answer is just a flat-out no.
