    Highlights/Topics:"Professor One has three short-term rentals, seven days or less." "He generates $20,000 of profit from each one, but each generates $60,000 of losses, cost seg plus bonus depreciation." "Can he use 20% QBI?" that's 199A. "Can you use it on the $20,000 profits, or will those be offset by the $60,000 losses, and the net will be $40,000 each?" –We can't. We have to take in the $60,000 loss that's associated with each of those buildings. We don't take QBI against the loss. No, QBI would not be available here."Professor Two has four long term rentals, and he used line depreciation for all of them." "His wife is a real estate professional, but there's not enough losses to offset his $300,000 grand in income. The CPA suggests putting $200,000 in a syndication as an LP. K1 will generate $150,000 of losses. As long as his wife is REP, he can use those passive losses to offset his W-2. Is that true?" – Because we're introducing a syndication, and this is a limited partner, that's the LP here at K-1, we're going to have to meet that test, the 500-hour test. In other words, to get our REP status, if we didn't use the 500-hour test, we may not be able to do that. That's why I say it depends."Professor Three has one passive long-term rental and just bought two short-term rentals with seven days or less with cost seg plus bonus depreciation. Next year, 2025, his wife plans to retire and claim real estate professional status. The plan is to keep those short-term rentals as Airbnb with eight days or more, a.k.a passive, and keep the long-term rental as is. The first question is, can the wife manage, clean those Airbnbs and claim the 750 hours without touching the third long-term rental that is far away and group them all together?" – I'm going to say no, because remember, a short-term rental isn't rental activity. It's the pizza shop, okay, that Toby keeps talking about. But we have other ideas.“The second question is whether we can still use the losses from the cost seg we conducted on those two short-term rentals this year." – Losses will stay passive into the future, so no."I have a question about capital gains tax. I'm selling a property with an installment payment plan. Only two installments to be received. The first will be received December of 2024, the second and last payment will be January 2025. How will this affect my capital gains tax?" – Simplistically, it's just going to split them."Paying tax on real estate long-term gain. If my net income is under $93,000 in 2024, will I owe taxes on long-term capital gains from the sale of real estate, a vacation rental? The gain itself is over $93,000." – if you are below approximately $94,000 in 2024, it's going to be taxed at zero."How do I reduce my tax liability as a flipper?" – Do it in a C-Corp or S-Corp, besides just immediate tax deductions, we want to avoid dealer status.Reverse exchange 1031. "Please help us understand it. How do I choose a QI, which stands for qualified intermediary? Any recommendations for first-time 1031 exchangers?" – you're first buying the replacement property and then you're deciding within 45 days which you're going to give up. And so it's just the opposite direction. You have 108 days total from close to close."Is it possible to use solar credits against passive income from real estate rent income?” – Yes. You can have a solar credit. You could do it on your personal home, which would create an ordinary loss. The nature of the activity that the solar is attached to might have something to do with its tax treatment."How do you determine if a repair and a rental property can be treated as an expense in the current year or must be depreciated?" – If you're making the property more valuable by doing it, that's not a repair. You're making it more valuable."Hi, my husband and I want to sell a new construction home business to become full-time investors and manage our five large commercial properties. In the past, we've had real estate professional status because we self-managed our commercial properties. If we sell our construction business, do we still qualify for rep status if we start a management company to manage our commercial properties and earn W-2 income from this new company? What type of entity would be best to set up a management company, LLC, S-corp, or C-corp? – using that management company that you own yourself, certainly you can use that towards your time.Resources:

  • 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 [email protected]

    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 taxI'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 2026I 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 investingResources:

  • 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 [email protected]

    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.Resources:

We explore what land trusts can and can’t do, including the intricacies of trust ownership and beneficiary roles. Lauren details how land trusts can help avoid unnecessary taxes, clarify sale clauses, and offer homestead exemption benefits.

  • 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 [email protected]

    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.Resources:

    Neal reports some jaw-dropping stats: 18 million families are priced out of homeownership due to salary versus mortgage disparities. Landlords are poised with a peak supply of 673,000 apartments in 2024, but the market will experience a shortage and price hikes in 2025-2026. The Federal Reserve's interest rate policies aim to balance inflation and affordability concerns, potentially influencing market dynamics. Investors are advised to target multifamily properties and land purchases, focusing on 5-unit properties over smaller units and considering assumable loans for strategic advantages in the current market landscape.

    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.Resources:

Submit your tax question to [email protected]

    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 ownerAs 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 estateWhat 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.Resources:

  • 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 [email protected]

    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 addressedResources:

  • Welcome to another Tax Tuesday episode of the Anderson Business Advisors podcast. Today on the show, attorney Toby Mathis, Esq., is joined by Scott Estill, Esq., a former senior trial attorney with the IRS. Scott and Toby dive into how to defer capital gains taxes on real estate with a 1031 exchange and discover the best way to leverage your LLC for tax savings. You’ll hear about maximizing contributions to solo 401ks, deducting startup costs, and the tax implications of fix-and-flipping properties.Submit your tax question to [email protected]

    Highlights/Topics:1031 exchange - What are the other options besides investing in one single property and how do I find them? - a 1031 is basically just a way to defer taxes and with proper planning. Up to 200% of the amount is what you can identify as other potential properties.As a 1099, what is the best way to leverage my LLC to save money on taxes. How can I save on self-employment taxes? - We need to know what type of LLC you have set up. If you set up an S-Corp, your salary can take out the employment taxes.I have a C-Corp that allows reimbursements for medical expenses. Is there a limit to the scope of the type of medical expenses eligible for reimbursement? I plan to reimburse for monthly premiums, plus out-of-pocket co-pays for annual procedures, checkup, etc – Your C-Corp is correct, and you’re limited to what the IRS Pub 502 lists out. (No weed, no cosmetic surgery!)I've just set up my entity with you guys, but I've already been doing business. Will I be able to write off startup costs that predate the actual formation of my entity? - You can write off $5K first year, and amortize the rest.How do I pay myself from my LLC if it is taxed as a partnership? In other words, what tax forms do I fill out to show the IRS that my LLC paid me for my work? - In a partnership you don’t issue a W2, but you get a “guaranteed payment” - You use a K-1, not a 1099.Can you use credit card statements as proof of expenditures? - Be prepared, the statement itself is not sufficient for the IRS, you need an itemized list. Write notes on all your business expenses so you have a record if audited.When calculating employer contribution to solo 401k, how does bonus depreciation affect the number? What if I do cost seg and wipe out most my income? Can I make an employer contribution? - Not sure how these elements are related, but the employer could contribute up to whatever you got as wages, period. But they can only deduct 25%.Would I be able to donate a property to a nonprofit organization and get the tax right off the sale year if the property was purchased in the same year? - So you have to look at any donation. the calculation here is fair market value on the date of the donation.What tax implications, inefficiencies do I need to keep in mind when doing a fix and flip?- There are some pretty serious tax implications if I don't structure the business properly. If you’re doing multiple, you’re a dealer, and you will have self employment tax.Resources:

  • Welcome to another Tax Tuesday episode of the Anderson Business Advisors podcast. Today, attorneys Toby Mathis, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., delve into listener questions around how real estate investors can maximize their returns and navigate the often-overlooked tax benefits associated with oil and gas investments within retirement accounts. They also share valuable tactics for employing family members in a business to shift income and save on taxes. A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to flipping properties, as they clarify the tax implications of this active income, debate the benefits of cost segregation studies for flips, and advise on the best entity structures to minimize tax burdens. Additionally, the episode covers charitable giving, exploring the differences between donor-advised funds and family foundations, and offering strategic insights for philanthropic tax deductions.Submit your tax question to [email protected]

    Highlights/Topics:"After seeing one of Toby's videos on five overlooked deductions, my interest in oil and gas investments was piqued. I am wondering if you can use your 401 (k) or a Roth to participate in a partnership. If so, would you get the tax benefits on the front end in year one? If you can do this in a tax advantage account, how is the 15 % depletion credit treated? - Oil and Gas and a retirement account - depreciation wouldn’t really be a factor. Loan the money to yourself.“Are US notes bought at a discount in an aftermarket offering exempt from California income taxes?” - Yes they areWhat is the best way to pay your children for a small business owner?“- Pay them from a disregarded entity.What are the tax implications when flipping a property, is it? There's three. Is it active income taxed at the ordinary income tax bracket? Another old company Took a while and is there? Stop it. And is there self-employment tax? Where is it? is it beneficial to do a cost segregation study for bonus depreciation for a flip? What is the best entity structure for flips? - Generally, flipping is active/non-passive income. It depends on your material participation.How can we offset a W-2 income and lower AGI through real estate investing in rental properties that are potentially fixer-uppers? Can we claim property repair expenses, investments, mortgage interest taxes, et cetera, against W-2 income to lower and offset taxable income?-I did a cost segregation study on a fixer property I purchased and rehabbed in 2023, but haven't used it yet because I heard 100 % bonus depreciation might be reinstated. How long is the cost seg study good for since I had it completed in December of 2023? - The cost seg is based on 2023 never expires, you’d be eligible for at least 80%.Can I do cost segregation study on Airbnb in a foreign country? - Different countries have different tax rules, but for US tax purposes, it may not benefit you the way you think.I want to utilize rental property depreciation to the maximum. However, I held a property for five years and then did a 1031 exchange. I barely get any depreciation to use now. Please explain why what occurs to depreciation when I do a 1031 exchange. Will the original basis carry over to the replacement property? If so, is it accurate to say I get the most depreciation benefit when I buy straight up, not doing a 1031? - the original basis doesn’t carry, but the adjusted basis does.What's the best way to transfer the ownership of my investment property to my son before my death? - You can gift it, but we don’t recommend it because they won’t get the stepped up basis to the fair market value. Put it in a living trust.How does a donor advice fund differ from a family foundation? - Both are great tools if used for the right purpose. You can invest up to 60% of your AGI in a DAF, or 30% AGI for a family foundation.Resources:
