    I like Brian. I like his videos. The condescension is a bit harsh, but it does add clarity to his delivery. I can see that his frustrated tone is borne from experience at trying to help people over the years. My tip for Brian, although this video is a few months old and he'll likely never see it... A bit more charm will serve you well. And for your more recent videos, it's apparent you are making an effort toward doing just that. I'd like to see you continuing your updates even as the world is taking steps toward phased re-openings of business in every sector. The context you've shared is even-keeled, level-headed, and on point. Thanks! And keep the videos coming.

    Good info. I did get a 1099B without the cost basis shown. I manually enter all my forms in Turbotax and I check the reported info with my spreadsheets. So I was able to fill in that cost basis box as I saved the original papers that the fund company sent. Hopefully, that will be the end of that when the IRS gets the info.

    Subscribed! The one thing that needs to be addressed however is that the short term rental sites like Airbnb do you report to the IRS if you have had some thing like 100 or more guest stays or $100,000 a year in bookings. I believe that they are just sending the gross amounts and not excluding stays that are 14 days or less so with this trigger an audit if they are reporting a lot more income than you are? Of course you should be able to support this if questioned

    • @clearvaluetax9382
      @clearvaluetax9382  4 роки тому +1

      Hi NuCreation! That goes on Schedule E. It can be argued if you are acting as a management company (with a lot of properties) that it can be reported on Schedule C. However, Schedule E is more advantageous (not subject to self-employment taxes). But it's Schedule E because rental activities are reported on Schedule E.

    Tip #1 my CPA told me that I couldn't use this. My wife and I own an LLC structured as a partnership. We found out about the ability to rent our home to our business for meetings and office parties so I asked my CPA how this worked. He told me that I couldn't do that. We do all employee training and meetings at our home, typically fewer than 10 per year. Can we bill our business for this?

    Yes, renting out space to your company is called a leaseback. However it is to my understanding that according to the tax code, the unearned income generated from the rental is converted back into earned income as you are a material participant in the business you rented to.

    Just to clarify, in order to be able to take advantage of the minimal rental use, you would have to be registered as S corp or LLC, not sole prop, right?
    Also, I thought SALT deduction was limited to $10000 per year. Would you be able to explain just a bit deeper what you meant by there's no cap on state level in terms of deducting property tax?
    You are a guru, man, I hope all CPAs are like you. I've had bad experience with previous CPAs where they just were not willing to put in the work to actually look through my finances.

    Hey great video! my question is I have a FSA through my employer, not a child dependent FSA, just a regular flexible spending account. do I need to report that on my taxes or does it already show on my W2?

      That's taken care of on the payroll level and you won't need to input that on your tax return. Thanks for watching sdot leem!
