Now before you get started, I just want to clarify that you may hear me use tax deductions and tax writeoffs interchangeably in this video and others.
Guys, its basically the same thing. At the end of the day, what we're trying to accomplish is to make sure that we are using all the legal ways to reduce our taxable income that we report to the IRS.
Alright, so when it comes to tax write offs for rental properties you need to know there is a difference between getting tax deductions as an ACTIVE real estate investor and a PASSIVE real estate investor
Because the IRS treats passive income and active income differently for tax purposes. Lets dive a little deeper into this during the video.

Can you make a video of steps to take if you buy a multifamily and your are working a w2 job, how to maximize your deductions as a passive investor?

@ashoksharma9168 2 года назад

Excellent presentation. Needs to stress that for Real Estate Professionals (active income), the losses are deductible against other (non-real estate) earned income. Also, need to file 1099-NEC forms for all vendors (and mail them a copy) paid over $600 per year to be able to deduct the costs on schedule E. It is of advantageous to breakdown (like in the miscellaneous section Schedule E at the bottom) some expenses like Trash, Pest Control, Lic instead of a large amount.

Wow, I've been looking for videos talking about depreciation on capital expenses. Very well described. I'm an AirBnb landlord (most likely passive) and I've found that I'm not eligible for Section 179 deductions and total deductions under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This is interesting stuff.

@shawnbrennan7526 2 года назад

The 1031 deal is important, but nowhere as simple as you’ve made it sound. In my state at least, you need to ensure a third party handles all the money. Once you touch the proceeds from the first sale, you can’t use section 1031 to buy another rental property without paying the CG taxes. Plus, it doesn’t really wipe out the CGs. The basis just gets recalculated into the new property. Complicated, but very worthwhile if you can make everything work.

Question: If I got a new roof after a storm and went through an insurance claim, can I then deduct the deductible as a write-off? Under IRS 527 Publication would this be considered a casualty "This is the damage, destruction, or loss of property resulting from an identifiable event that is sudden, unexpected, or unusual. Such events include a storm, fire, or earthquake." ?

Awesome breakdown. I started renting out a property midway through 2020 that I did quite a few renovations to the year prior. I didn't take any deductions on the income I claimed b/c I assumed taking the standard deduction nullified that. Starting to think that was the wrong move. Can you go back and claim deductions from a previous return on next years taxes?

Question: Can I benefit from maximizing my income tax return on my rental property if my only income is from Social Security disability? I know it’s best to hire a CPA, I was playing around with online services such as Turbo Tax and I received no benefits. It was telling me I couldn’t benefit from deductions due to my SSDI passive income. I own 2 rental properties both in my name only. I paid cash for both properties. This is the 1st year I am filing a return owning the properties. I am at approximately negative $20,000 for 2021. Am I able to do a separate return for mY SSDI income only and a separate return for the rental properties as a sole proprietor.

On #5, there is no “may”. The IRS will absolutely require you to pay the 25% depreciation recapture. Or am I missing something?

@frasercpainc2958 2 года назад

There is no recapture if you have a loss on sale.

@noratorres-rosas3342 2 года назад

In the video, it seems like the entire capital gain would be taxed at 25%. To clarify, it is only the depreciation that is recaptured that is taxed at "up to" 25% as long as there is a gain. Example: Rental purchase of $100K, depreciation taken $22K, sale of $150K; Gain is then $72K (adjusted basis = $78K ($100K - $22K), and total gain = $150K-78K = $72K). Of the $72K in gain, $22K is depreciation recapture and taxed up to 25% (tax rate is lower if the taxpayer's tax bracket is lower). The remaining $50K of gain ($72-22)K gets taxed at long-term capital gains tax rate (owned more than a year). If the home had sold at say $90K instead, then the Gain would have been $12K ($90K sale - 78K adj. basis), in which case the taxpayer would then pay have recaptured depreciation on the entire $12K gain (taxed at up to 25% tax rate, but no more than his tax bracket).

@shawnbrennan7526 2 года назад

@@noratorres-rosas3342 The first half of your comment is well stated. The second half where it is sold at $90k, I thought you’d still owe recapture on the $22k, and then you’d take a CG loss of $10k. I’m not positive, but I thought that was how the tax forms were calculating it.

The depreciation is calculated from the money ypu have left after expenses like mortgage and water bill . Example I charge rent 1k per month x 12 is 12,000 a year ypu use this amout or you use the amount left after expenses like i charge 1k per month but i pay 50 for water and 600 fpr mortgage i have left 350 per month x 12 is 4,200 per year. Which one you use yo calculate depreciation please some answer ???????

@timtierney4218 2 года назад

I am not an accountant, but this is how I handle depreciation on my taxes. Depreciation is calculated based solely on the purchase price of the property. The fully depreciated life span is 27.5 years. To calculate the depreciation you divide the purchase price of the property by 330 (27.5 years represented in months). Using that per-month figure calculate your first year depreciation as: (number of months owned in the first year - 1 * the monthly depreciation value) and carry the result to Schedule E. For every fully owned year thereafter simply use : ( the monthly depreciation value * 12) as the value to go on the Schedule E. When you sell the property it is similar to the first year of ownership with the calculation being (number of months owned in the first year + 1 * the monthly depreciation value) with this being the Schedule E value.
