How do you get started in real estate investing outside of your local area? Are you struggling to get started in a different state? Trying to figure out how to find properties outside the area in which you live?

Today, Clint Coons of Anderson Business Advisors talks to Gary Beasley, Co-founder and CEO of Roofstock, a leading real estate investment marketplace.

Are you going to inherit a house from your parents? Also, how will the new IRS rule on third-party payer apps, such as Venmo and Zelle, affect a landlord to collect rental payments? Beware of gift taxes from real estate, 1099-K and 709 forms, and other tax implications.

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors discuss gift taxes from real estate and new IRS rules on CashApp as well as answer additional tax-related questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

I am from Dallas, Texas. My parents have a primary home and rental house. They want to give me their rental house, but they owe $42,000 to the mortgage company. What’s the best way to inherit the house, how do I deal with the gift tax, what tax implications do I need to be aware of, and how can I avoid the taxes if possible? If you are gifted an encumbered property, it decreases the gift amount. Take over the loan, or if you are not able to pay off the loan and the parents continue to pay it, then that would be considered a gift. Otherwise, do nothing.

Can one circumvent the $16,000 maximum yearly gift tax exclusion by giving $16,000 to multiple persons who in turn also give $16,000 to the same single final recipient? No, you can't do this step transaction, a collapsible transaction. The IRS looks at what happened from the beginning to the end and will find that you actually made that gift yourself to that single recipient.

How will the new IRS rule on third-party payer apps, such as Venmo, Zelle, etc., affect a landlord to collect rental payments via a phone number or email linked to one bank account. The landlord will get a 1099-K for payments received, which is personal income, but taxable revenues are split amongst rental entities. What’s the best way to handle this? If all the properties are in your name, it will not make any difference. If you have one party collecting for yourself, partnership, or S Corp, then it can create an issue.

How are taxes calculated when renting only one room in your home for Airbnb? How are the expenses calculated, such as cleaning fees, lawn care, pest control, maintenance, snacks, and other amenities offered to guests?

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors discuss calculating Airbnb taxes and answer additional tax-related questions.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

What are your thoughts on using a nonprofit that is funded with cryptocurrency? The cryptocurrency will need to be converted to cash and appraised when donating it.

When purchasing a self-storage facility, should it be in it’s own LLC and can it be combined in an LLC that already has a property within its entity? It’s recommended to put it into two LLCs: Property in one and business in the other. Always separate them.

How are taxes calculated when renting only one room in your home for Airbnb? How are the expenses calculated for amenities offered to guests? Depends on if it is a rental or for a business. There are two kinds of expenses that need to be calculated - direct (only applies to specific rental space) and indirect (utilities, mortgage interest, homeowners association fees, etc.).

Should you use your personal name as a beneficiary of a Lady Bird Deed or should you set up a new entity to receive ownership?

In the first Tax Tuesday episode of 2022, Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors discuss how to set up a beneficiary deed and answer additional tax-related questions.

Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

Are the profits from my real estate syndication investment considered passive income? It’s highly likely that your syndication income is passive in nature for two reasons - you’re probably a limited partner and it’s real estate, which are both passive activities.

Should I use my personal name as a beneficiary of a Lady Bird Deed or should I set up a new entity to receive ownership? Medicare can take a real estate asset to pay for care, but a Lady Bird Deed is an enhanced life estate allowed in five states for a beneficiary to protect their home as an inheritance.

How does a C Corp pay me (the homeowner) for the use of part of my house as office space? Don’t report it on your 1040. It’s a tax-free reimbursement. However, if you rent your home to the corporation, then it is taxable income.

Can we still rollover a regular IRA to Roth? For now, you can still do a Roth conversion.

How do I pay taxes on rental properties that I own in Canada while I am in the United States? The United States accepts Canadian LLCs, but still charges you tax on all income generated from any properties anywhere in the world

Can I turn a property that I acquired through a 1031 exchange into my primary residence? Yes, you can convert it under Section 121

Toby Mathis and Ian Hanuscin of Anderson Advisors talk about how to deduct taxes when purchasing a home and answer other tax questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

How can I eliminate paying capital gains? I recently sold my rental property because I needed the cash to pay off a divorce settlement. What are my options? Since you already sold the rental property, doing a 1031 exchange is no longer an option, but a qualified opportunity zone is an option to defer the tax

Which is better? A 1031 exchange with limited time and capital availability or paying capital gains with unlimited time available and no restrictions on capital? Depends on your income bracket, so before doing a 1031, talk to your tax person

After receiving a sizable amount of money, how soon after do taxes need to be paid? Usually, it’s 90% of the current year’s income or either 100 or 110% of last year’s income for tax liability

If I register a vehicle under my company name, is this tax deductible? If it’s 100% business use, yes; if not, determine the percentage of use and deduct that amount

Happy Thanksgiving! What are you thankful for? Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors talk about how to use LLCs for your wholesale real estate, retirement plans, and other tax questions. They relate seasoning and cooking the turkey as well as words of wisdom from Bobby Boucher in Waterboy to tax topics. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

Roth Account: I’m not 59 ½ yet. I know I can withdraw my contribution/conversion amounts without paying taxes, but will I be penalized? If you withdraw your contributions from a Roth IRA, there’s no taxes or penalties, but if you take out earnings from a Roth IRA held for less than 5 years and you’re under 59 ½, you’re subject to taxes, penalties

Wholesaling: Should that be an LLC by itself? One LLC per deal or just use the same one? Depends on whether your state has a series LLC because it’s easy to create a series but it’s difficult to open bank accounts for them

I’m thinking about delivering packages for a delivery service to supplement my income. My current car is paid off. Should I buy or lease a vehicle for business use? Should my earnings fall under the protection of an LLC and Employer Identification Number (EIN)? Do not lease a vehicle for something like this because you will quickly exceed the mileage limitations, but do set up an active entity (S/C Corp, LLC) for liability protection

If I purchased a course or educational support not in my LLC’s name, can I still deduct it for my business? Yes, if it is directly related to your business, but get reimbursed
