Would you recommend accepting that ownership under a specific tax strategy or corporate setup, or just accepting the ownership under my name and Social Security number? 18:26 Is it a good idea to pull money from a traditional IRA early and then invest in oil funds to get IDC deductions to help offset the taxes I will incur by withdrawing from the IRA? 23:25 Can tax documents be reviewed for previous years and if my previous preparer didn’t use all the available strategies; can those strategies be applied for those years? 27:32 I will be relocating to South Africa which has a tax treaty with the United States Government. I am a retiree who receives a monthly annuity. Will I be double taxed? I will be paying both federal and state taxes in the USA. 34:36 What is the best tax strategy for sole proprietor ownership of 12 rentals? 40:50 I have a 22-unit condo project that we converted into rentals in 1992. It was a C Corp. Now it is an S corp. One adviser suggested converting to an LLC. Would this trigger a taxable event for property tax assessments? 47:23 I have a detached ADU in my backyard. I want to use it as a home office. Can I do that and if so, how is the deduction calculated? Also, can I get a deduction if I use part of my garage for the business for storage? 53:59 Does a Sub-S election with an accountable plan attract more attention than a Schedule C filer? 57:07 We are completing a 1031 exchange and would like guidance on the best way to structure the purchase of our replacement property. Our objective is to use all available 1031 exchange proceeds while funding the remaining balance with assets from a self-directed Solo 401(k), if permissible, and avoid obtaining a conventional mortgage. Are there any IRS rules, prohibited transaction concerns, or tax implications we should be aware of before proceeding?

  When Should You Start An LLC For Real Estate Flipping?

  Jul 28, 20261h 5m

  In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., answer listener questions covering entity structuring, real estate tax planning, investing, and charitable giving strategies. They explain when it makes sense to form an LLC or S Corporation for a real estate flipping business and whether new investors should wait until after closing their first deal. They also discuss how profits earned inside an LLC trading stocks and stock options are taxed, and whether leaving funds in a brokerage account changes the tax treatment. Barley and Eliot break down whether a cost segregation study makes sense for a long-held commercial property undergoing significant capital improvements, and how that decision compares to selling the property, completing a 1031 exchange, and performing a cost segregation study on replacement assets. They also explore tax-efficient charitable giving strategies, including ways to contribute appreciated assets or funds designated for charity while minimizing capital gains taxes.

We will rent our new property out in the summer months while we are at our secondary residence and stay there in the winter months (so we can’t take advantage of the STR loophole). What tax strategies are available to us in the above case? 17:03 We are selling our company at the end of July 2026. Usually this would be treated as long-term capital gain (taxed at 23.8%) but because I haven't been with the company for 12 months, I believe I would be taxed as ordinary income. Could I invest those funds in a Qualified Opportunity Zone to avoid paying ordinary taxes? Are there new rules with OBBBA that will take effect January 1, 2027? 27:03 I have a C Corporation that earns income from management fees normally paid annually from the LLCs the C Corp manages. During the last C Corp fiscal year, no management fees were paid due to the LLC not having income. Does the C Corp still need to file a tax return if it has no income, and does this mean the C Corp cannot pay any reimbursements for this tax year? 31:45 Please explain the details of when you sell a stock at a loss and repurchase the same stock within 30 days. (Wash Sale Rules) 35:57 At what point do I need to form an LLC or S-Corp for my real estate flipping business? I am just starting in the market and was told not to worry about it until I made my first deal. Is that true? 39:45 I have an LLC for trading stock options and stocks. If I make $1,000,000 profit and do not transfer it out of my brokerage account to me personally, is this money taxed, or is it taxed when I do pull it out of the account? 45:15 I am the managing partner of a general partnership that owns a strip center for many years with little depreciation left. We are spending about $500,000 on a new roof and paving to put a big-box tenant in a long-standing vacancy. Would a cost segregation study benefit here? Should we sell (at a massive profit) and 1031 into new assets and then do the CSS? 51:09 Is there a way to put funds into an account for charity and it not be taxed on gains? 57:23 Can you please explain the non-AFS 417(c) method? Can it be used for an LLC partnership? And can it be used to create a loss, or does the loss carry over to the following tax year?
