Are you ready for the debates and upcoming election? In the meantime, Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer your tax questions about Donald Trump’s and Joe Biden’s tax returns. Maybe you, too, can become a multimillionaire. William H. Rehnquist once stated, “There is nothing wrong with a strategy to avoid the payment of taxes. The Internal Revenue Code doesn’t prevent that.” Do you have a tax question? Submit it to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.
Highlights/Topics:
Can you withdraw some earnings from a Roth IRA, if you held it for five years or more and you are not older than 59.5 years old? Yes, you can take out earnings without being penalized or forced with required distributions
If I live in one state and use my home office for a tax deduction, but have rented an apartment in another state for business purposes, can I use the apartment and utilities for a business deduction? Apartment in other state probably needs to be rented by entity or business; don’t do a home office, but an administrative office in your home
What are the laws for purchasing a vehicle for business to use as a deduction? If business buys vehicle, track mileage and don’t fall below 50%; if you buy it, track miles and get reimbursement (55 to 58 cents per mile)
Is there a way to get around being taxed from the gains/profit from doing flips? Find other expenses to run against that income
If you rent out a condo and take depreciation on it, and then the following year, decide to live in the condo yourself, what do you do about the depreciation? Depreciation stays where it’s at until you decide to sell the property
