Dustin and Adam dive deep into proactive tax planning strategies specifically designed for passive investors. They explain why waiting until March to think about the previous year’s taxes is too late and share their systematic approach to tax optimization throughout the year.

The discussion includes the short-term rental “loophole” strategy for W-2 earners, qualifying for real estate professional status, and the critical importance of working with qualified tax professionals who understand alternative investments. Key topics include the tax benefits of oil and gas investments, cost segregation studies, and bonus depreciation opportunities.

They also address a common pitfall of letting tax optimization drive poor investment decisions rather than incorporating tax benefits into sound investment strategies, and Adam shares his personal approach of conducting mid-year tax planning sessions.
