In this first episode of a two-part series, tax incentives expert Gian Pazzia provides a high-level overview of key tax-saving strategies for business owners and real estate investors. Gian breaks down major trends like cost segregation and energy tax credits, revealing how these tools can accelerate deductions, reduce taxable income, and unlock significant savings. 

This episode sets the stage for Part 2, which will dive deeper into practical implementation with another special guest.

Key Takeaways:

• Cost Segregation Studies: How breaking down your building’s components can accelerate depreciation and increase first-year deductions by up to 25%, delivering major cash flow benefits for real estate investors.

• Real Estate Professional Status & Short-Term Rentals: Insights on how meeting specific IRS criteria or leveraging short-term rental classifications can unlock the ability to offset passive losses against active income.

• Stacking Incentives: Exploring how commercial real estate investors can combine accelerated depreciation with energy tax credits (like 179D and 45L) to maximize tax benefits.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll go beyond the overview and dig into the detailed tactics and implementation steps for these tax-saving strategies.
