Highlights/Topics:

What happens if I forget to submit Form 8606? You don’t have to file a return if you let the IRS know there’s something you put in, but you are not taking a tax deduction for it

What principle assets should I use for my LLC, if I work from home? Depends on where you set up the LLC; a physical address, but not your home address, as principal address

Can paying my minor kids for their work in my business offset taxes? Yes, if they do something of value; shift money from a higher bracket to someone in a lower bracket

How can we pay kids? Is there a limit? If you're a sole proprietor, you don't have to put them through payroll; if you're anything else, you do put them on the payroll

Can I pay my parents for babysitting? Yes, but you're not going to write that off because it’s not an expense

Do I have to file tax through each state where I own a rental property? If you're making money in a state, you must report that income somewhere

Can a self-directed 401(k) invest in an opportunity property? Self-directed IRA means you don't have to have a custodian; you can be your own administrator or trustee

Can I invest in opportunity property? Yes. Opportunities zones and opportunity funds get the tax exemption; you can invest in those areas and defer capital gains

What documents need to be filed for a C Corp? Depends if you're filing it with the state, then there’s three areas to be aware of: State, third parties, and federal government

Do you need a real estate license to be considered a real estate professional? No.

What is a good IRA platform to use, has the lowest fees? IRA Club

Is partnership income in an IRA required to be income taxed? No. An IRA owning a partnership doesn’t pay tax on that income

Do you lose long-term capital gains being a real estate professional? No. Capital gains are capital gains; you don't lose them because the losses aren’t considered passive

Do kids pay FICA taxes? If it's payroll, yes; they're not going to pay on employment taxes

What are the main tax advantages of a C Corp? Separate tax bracket and fringe benefits that are not taxable to you and not available through others

I have a home office in the basement. Is that basement going to be deducted? Yes, if you’re a sole proprietor; have an accountable plan and reimburse yourself by determining how much square feet of the house you're using

I formed a single-member LLC. What tax form do I report? You don't; it's disregarded

What's the best bookkeeping system for real estate investors and financial services corps? QuickBooks
