@Dimrain13 Год назад

Talked with a CPA for the first time last year and he asked about 5 times if I had ever rented out the property one night. I was able to offset losses for fixing and flipping costs and the hard money payments to reduce from 100k to 60k taxable. Next year I will likely not be paying any tax thanks to my CPA.

Not surprising! We've niched STRs for years and almost all incoming investors have one of the following mistakes on their returns (including Big 4 prepared returns): 1) Schedule C vs Sch E 2) 27.5 years vs 39 years 3) Classifcation as a residential rental vs vacation/transient. Regs Section 1.469 is something all RE investors (or their CPAs) should know backwards and forwards!

Anyway, I have a short term rental and my accountant told me today that in order to utilize bonus depreciation the property would have had to be a rental before. This doesn't make sense to me. I bought the house toward the end of 2022, renovated it (new flooring, new bathroom vanities and toilets, new paint, new window coverings....) and yet we aren't able to do bonus depreciation because it wasn't a rental prior to us owning it????

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

The average stay for the year has to be 7 days or less, so if you have any long term stays the math probably won't work out. If it's a new rental that you just put on the rental market for the first time, there isn't a particular minimum but having 2-3 stays at least for the tax year is recommended. I'm a tax preparer specializing in working with rental property investors.

@Toopain2125 Год назад

Was wondering that too or could us as the owner capitalize on it

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

No, it only applies to you as the owner. And you (or your spouse) have to "materially participate" in the rental yourself. Hours spent by people or companies you hire don't count towards that. It's possible to still qualify if you have a property manager, but you would have to log 100-500 hours/year on it, which most people don't when they have a property manager. I'm a tax professional specializing in doing taxes for rental owners (located in Austin TX).

@maxdeangoldstein 10 месяцев назад

If you purchased a vacation house, renovated it and used it personally for a year, but are now going to have it as a short term rental full time, can you deduct all the renovation costs from that first year? @@tax-modern

@tax-modern 10 месяцев назад

@@maxdeangoldstein You do get some tax benefit from those renovation costs. The renovation costs can be added to your basis and it's part of the building cost that you get to depreciate over a number of years (generally 39 years for short term rentals). In other words, the renovations reduce your taxable income from the rental a little bit each year. The renovations cost also can reduce your capital gains if you later sell the property. By the way, calculating your basis for depreciation is a somewhat complicated subject, and even if you do your own taxes most years, I would recommend a tax professional specializing in real estate to do your taxes that first year to get your depreciation set correctly.

@dat9152 11 месяцев назад

lets say a husband and wife, both W2 earners, bring in 200K a year and buy a 500K SRT. Using a cost segregation report gets them 100K-150K depreciation year 1. They are allowed to deduct that 100-150K against the 200K and just pay taxes against the balance? Later set up a trust so when they pass away their children inherit the properties and only have to pay taxes on what the property is/was worth when the parents passed away not the original purchase price paid by the parents? Am I understanding all this correctly?

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

Once it is available as a rental you can start using depreciation to subtract a fraction of the cost of the house from your rental income each year. Pretty much any other expenses you incur once it's a rental are also expenses you can deduct (utilities, property taxes, insurance, supplies, etc.).

@lukewo5067 Год назад

Quick question. New home build- you would be able to depreciate Construction costs or appraised value?

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

If you build a house and immediately put it into service as a rental property, your bases for depreciation would be the cost of the construction (plus acquisition costs, etc.). You can't depreciate the land (so that means the land can't be used as an expense against your rental income). This is unrelated to bonus depreciation and the STR loophole, I'm just talking about the regular depreciation.

In other words, would I be able to make the most of the cost segregation report for the 2023 W2?

REPS and STR Strategy are 2 different concepts. Hours towards REPS do not count towards your STR (by definition, a STR is nonresidential). You can indeed use an alternative Material Participation test (there are 7)

The STR "loophole" applies only to those properties that meet the short-term definition. In addition to the under 7 days average stay mentioned in the video, it could also be under 30 days average if you provide substantial hotel-like services to guests. The long-term rentals can qualify if you meet real estate professional status.

I read the IRS 925 tax form you mentioned. Was excited to have this option. However, on page 4 it lists the Phase Out Rule. These are of course modified adjusted gross incomes: $25k Max 100k or less, $12k Max $150K or less and nothing over $150k 😢 Guess if you have a W-2 and you are a true high earner you need to max out your 401k and all other pre-tax items to get your income down.

@TheRulersBack1 Год назад

hey so are you saying that under no circumstances can you implement this if you earn over $150K in w-2 income?

@Corvette0430 Год назад

@@TheRulersBack1 Yes the 25k unless you can get your AGI under $150k

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

The $25k exception you're mentioning is unrelated to the "STR loophole". If your income is low enough to use that $25k exception, you can use that instead and not need the STR loophole. The STR loophole method doesn't have an income limit, it can be used regardless of your income level. There are 4 ways you can make use of rental losses, and the $25k exception and the STR loophole are two of them.

Depends. Time Value Money usually makes it worth it. If she is not versed in STRs, she may be thinking your losses would be passive. Most of our single STR investors will cost seg, unless they plan on holding for a short period of time.

@tax-modern 11 месяцев назад

Your amount of income isn't a factor in qualifying for the STR loophole. Having the property in an LLC also isn't a factor (a single member LLC is always disregarded for tax purposes). But having a property manager may disqualify you, or at least it's unlikely that you put in enough hours of your own time to qualify as materially participating.

Each property is generally handled separately so you can do it to any ones you choose. About the time frame, do you mean does it have to be an STR for a certain length of time? The average stay for the year has to be 7 days or less, so if you have any long term stays the math probably won't work out.

How long does a property need to be an STR to be able to do a cost seg? Say I buy one in October and it’s only an STR till December? Then I do the cost seg and switch it over to MTR?

@tax-modern 10 месяцев назад

@@naureenkhashwji8039 Just to be clear, the cost segregation study is separate from the STR loophole. You can do the cost seg study with a long term rental, it's just that the STR loophole is what you use to make the cost seg amounts deductible against your non-passive (job) income. You aren’t required to continue using it as a short term rental in later tax years, so you just wouldn’t qualify in those later tax years to deduct more losses. But it’s generally not advisable to try to game the system by doing a few short term rentals on a new property at the end of the year and take the tax deduction and then immediately switch it to long-term. That may be technically allowed if you can make a reasonable claim that you did that for legitimate business reasons, but you may be opening yourself up to scrutiny and potentially a challenge by the IRS if you only have it as an STR for a few months at the end of a year.
