By deducting the cost of a property over a set number of years, investors can reduce their taxable income and save money on taxes. In the series, we discussed the different types of depreciation, including straight-line, accelerated, and bonus depreciation, as well as how to calculate and claim these deductions on your tax return.<\/p>\n<p>Those looking to get a bigger deduction up front often utilize a cost segregation study to\u00a0identify and reclassify assets within a property, allowing property owners to accelerate depreciation deductions on certain items.<\/p>\n<h1>Deductible Rental Property Expenses<\/h1>\n<p>Operating a rental property comes with various expenses, many of which are tax-deductible. In the series, we explored common deductible expenses such as mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, and property management fees. We also discussed the importance of keeping accurate records and receipts to substantiate your expense claims during an audit.<\/p>\n<h1>Real Estate Example Including Passive Activity Loss Rules and Real Estate Professionals<\/h1>\n<p>When it comes to wrapping your head around all of this real estate investing and taxes many people get confused. To help paint a more clear picture lets use an example to help illustrate the tax savings potential with a rental property utilizing a cost segregation study.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Purchase Price:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>$750,000 ($150k Attributed to Land, $600k Attributed to Building)\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>20% Down Payment:<\/strong><\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>$150,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost Segregation Study (5, 7, and 15 Year Property):<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>$228,000\n<ul>\n<li><em><strong>80% Bonus Depreciation in 2023:<\/strong><\/em><span>\u00a0<\/span>$182,400<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>27.5 Year Depreciation:<\/strong><span>\u00a0<\/span>$372,000 or roughly $13,500 per Year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In this example, you\u00a0invested $150,000 but got a year 1 deduction of $196,000+ that could potentially offset other income of yours.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that passive losses can only offset other passive income. Essentially, if you have a rental property (passive) and you have a loss in it due to high depreciation, you can only offset that loss against other passive income (rental activity or businesses you do not actively participate in) but you cannot use that loss to offset earned income (W2) or non-passive capital gains. Those unused losses will be carried forward.<\/p>\n<p>Now with that being said there are some strategies you can use to maximize those losses:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Being an Active Real Estate Investor<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are under certain income limits you can claim up to $25,000 in rental real estate loss allowance from the property, if you \"actively participate\" in managing it.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Become a Real Estate Professional<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Qualifying as a real estate professional allows you to fully deduct passive losses against your ordinary income. There are various requirements that need to be met to qualify.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Generate More Passive Income<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>If you are a business owner is there part of your business that you do not actively participate in? Could you split that off into a separate passive entity for you?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have another property you could sell at a gain to use the losses against?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have a highly appreciated asset you could sell at a gain to use the losses against?<\/li>\n<li>Can you invest in a high cash flow passive activity that the losses can be used to offset?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In our series, we explained the passive activity loss rules that limit the amount of losses real estate investors can offset against their non-passive income. However, we also discussed the real estate professional designation, which allows qualified individuals to bypass the passive activity loss limitations and fully deduct their rental losses against other income sources.<\/p>\n<h1>Short-Term Rentals\u00a0Loophole<\/h1>\n<p>The rise of platforms like Airbnb and VRBO has made short-term rentals a popular investment strategy and there is a unique \"loophole\" in the tax code that makes these favorable. We just discussed the passive loss rules and how you would need to qualify as a real estate professional to offset loss against your ordinary income but there is one loophole to get past that and that is short-term rentals.<\/p>\n<p>From a high level, if your average rental is 7 days or less it qualifies as a short term rental. Even though it is a \"rental property\", since it is short-term the IRS does not classify it as rental activity and thus it is not considered passive. This means it is not subject to the passive loss rules and you may be able to use short term rental losses to offset your regular income (W2, business, etc.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In order to use a short term rental to offset non-passive income you need to prove that you \"materially participate\" in the activity. There are 7 tests that you can use to meet but the most common one we see is participating in the activity for more than 100 hours during the year and more than any other individual.<\/p>\n<p>In our series we dug into this concept even further but if you are unable to qualify as a real estate professional then utilizing the short-term rental loophole could be a great second option.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h1>Real Estate Job or Flipping<\/h1>\n<p>Much of what we are discussing here is related to rental properties but if you are in the business of real estate earning ordinary income, you may want to look at an S Corp. This would\u00a0NOT be for rental properties but rather real estate agents, flippers, contractors, etc.<\/p>\n<p>We have an entire series on the S Corp that you can\u00a0check out<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxsavingspodcast.com\/scorp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>\u00a0but from a high level stand point, if you have a business (not rental properties) and earning $50k+ it may make sense to do an S Corp election for your business.<\/p>\n<h1>Real Estate Exit Strategies<\/h1>\n<p>There will come a time that you want to\u00a0sell a property of yours. It's important to think about the tax implications of that prior to the sale to ensure you are avoiding or paying the least amount in taxes on that sale as possible. More often than not we see folks utilizing 1031 exchanges, charitable trusts, etc in the scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>A 1031 exchange allows real estate investors to defer capital gains taxes when selling a property by reinvesting the proceeds into a like-kind property. Our podcast episodes covered the rules and requirements for a successful 1031 exchange, including timeframes, property identification, and the role of a qualified intermediary.<\/p>\n<h1>Conclusion<\/h1>\n<p>Understanding and leveraging tax strategies for rental properties can significantly impact your investment returns. By revisiting the key takeaways from our podcast series, you'll be better equipped to optimize your tax savings and maximize your profits as a real estate investor.
