Today I committed to gaining knowledge of real estate investing in order to confidently finance my first property. This video is an AMAZING start!! Thank you.
Just the perfect tutorial video I’ve been looking for. Pls create more videos on rental properties or about business taxes. Thank you so much for all your help!
Great information, im new to this and I'm a bit nervous of making mistakes on my taxes this year, I'll be adding our 1st rental to for this year. Great videos, and easy to understand.
One of the more accurate videos out there. One advice is, next time, zoom into the form a bit more. Correct me if I'm wrong but the "depreciation recapture...taxed as ordinary income, up to 25%" - are you referring to the unrecaptured 1250 gain taxed at 25% followed by 1231 recapture taxed as ordinary income taxed at Taxpayer's ordinary income rate (can be as high as 37%).?
The main thing i needed to know is that principle payment and HELOC interest is not something that counts in avoiding tax liability. I took a heloc for improvements and to move to a new home. This video helped so much to plan and withhold adequate part of rent to pay taxes
No, rental deductions can’t directly offset gains or income from wages or stocks. If your rental activity produces a net loss for the year, you may be able to deduct some of that loss against your total income though, depending how high your income is
how does it work for someone who bought this as primary house , stayed in this house for 5 years and then moved out to another primary house ? all the expenditure and specifically the depreciation work in same way as capital gain on primary home is supposed to be 0 when you sell it?
When used as a primary residence, there is no depreciation to deduct or expense. So there is no concept of getting any special tax treatment on depreciation when you sell
I’m glad you liked it, thanks! I stay away from self-directed IRAs as the risks in disqualifying them are not insignificant, especially with real estate. So I don’t have any content on them. But if you Google “self directed IRA real estate” you’ll find an endless rabbit hole of info!
Thanks! Assuming the ranch isn't itself used as a business or to produce income separate from renting out the home, the overall process and accounting are the same. The main difference is presumably a larger portion of the total property value is going to be attributable to land as opposed to the building on it. Which means less of the total property value is depreciable (since land can't depreciate; only the homes/buildings on it can)

Hello sir, I have question on Rental property. I am renting out 3 room + Bathroom = 800 sq ft (i.e 25%) out of my primary house to the renter. It is rented for the whole last year 2021 for $9k. My property was brought in 2003 for $250k and 3200 sq ft Can you please explain with example on how to calculate depreciation. I understand per year depreciation (i.e 250k - land+closing /27.5 = $9090.00. Q: Is This depreciation is for the whole? and Q: How to calculate depreciation for renter part of it.
Thanks for the video! So for example, if I purchased a home for $150,000 and I renovated a kitchen and spent $15,000, it would be added to the cost basis of the property? Does that then make the total cost basis $165,000 which can then be depreciated in the 27.5 years?
Yes, but the timing of things may not be that simple. For example, if you buy the property for $150,000 and don't actually put it "in service to be rented because you plan to immediate do the $15k kitchen remodel before renting it, yes, then the original basis when you placed the property "in service" would be $165k, which would depreciate over 27.5 years (though keep in mind that you can't depreciate the portion of the purchase that was attributable to the value of the land. You can only depreciate the part attributable to the building. But to keep the example simple, let's falsely assume the land was worth zero and therefore the full $150k + $15k = $165k is depreciable). However, if you buy the house now, start renting it out now and don't do the kitchen remodel until three years down the road, you'd actually start depreciating the $150k now at 27.5 years. And then in three years when you spend the $15k on the kitchen, you'd separately start depreciating that at 27.5 years. Which means you'd have to different 27.5 year depreciation schedules running alongside one another, but starting at different dates.
I have a rental property and i still have a mortgage payment. I'm basically loosing money as my mortgage is more than the rent i charge, can i report that and would it benefit me or affect me when playing taxes
Thank you so much for sharing this information in a very clear fashion. I have a question relating to depreciation. Say, I make improvements this year but the property is not "Placed in Service" until January of next year. Although I won't be able to deduct depreciation expenses this year, will I be able to begin reporting such expenses beginning next year and on?
The depreciation expensing would start when you place the property in service. And at that point, your depreciable basis will include the cost of the improvements you made
Wait. I have a question. If I have 17k per year spent on mortgage interest on a rental property as an LLC, can I get back all of that 17k as tax credit. ? Or will it only get 30-35 percent back as tax deduction ?
Depends how you're reporting the rental property; active vs passive. If it's a passive rental, the interest expense will reduce the amount of taxability of the rental income you have. And if you have a net loss on the property for the year, you may or may not be able to deduct that loss against the rest of your other income (depends how high your total income is). And if you can't deduct the rental property's net loss in the year, the loss will carry over to future years to offset future year's rental income
@@RetirementPlanningEducation ok thanks a lot. yes, it will be passive. so, overall, if the interest rate on the mortgage is 7 percent, and if we earn more than 300K per year as a household, it just reduces our taxable income by 17K. and we get back around 30% of that 17K as refund. so, its probably more cost-effective to pay off mortgage quicker and save money upfront.
So renting out the property until I die would be the way to go to take advantage of depreciation and not have to pay back that depreciation? Because I would never sell
If you hold the property until you die and then pass it on to heirs when you leave this world, they will get a "step up in basis" such that all of the unrealized gain and unrecaptured depreciation disappears and your heirs acquire the property as if they paid for it whatever the property was worth when you died
Like gifting any appreciated asset, your basis simply ports over to them. So they then own the asset and all of the unrealized gain and unrecaptured depreciation. If/when they sell, they will realize all of the gain and income on the sale
@@RetirementPlanningEducation I will probably just skip it then . Another question please, how about handymen that I hire and give me a receipt but I don’t give them a 1099 can I still deduct the work on my income taxes? Thanks for your time Sir!
Thanks for the informative video. How do you depreciate a manufactured home? Is it the same way? The home is located in a mobile home park. It is titled like a vehicle.
What if you move back into the rental as a primary home and sell it later? Do you still have to pay the depreciation tax if you are living in the home at time of sale?
Yes. The depreciation does remain until you sell it, so it does remain a factor. But if it is your primary home for at least 2 years during the 5 years before you sell it, you can qualify to offset up to $250k if you're single ($500k if married) of your capital gains under tax code section 121, but it would also be reduced somewhat by the "nonqualified use" of the time it was a rental. I won't go into all the complexities here. And that section 121 exclusion can't offset the depreciation recapture.
Thanks for the informative video. I have a question I own a single family home where I live and I can’t take depression but when I sell it, will IRS tax me on the depreciation anyway? Thanks
@@kshipon1798 then depreciation won’t come into play. You can’t deduct it as an expense, nor are you taxed on any depreciation recapture when you sell the place
Hello, how do I report the sale of a house that was the primary residence for 6 years and then was turned into a rental for 19 years ? Specifically, how do I prorate the 6 years as primary residence for a gain zxclusion ? Thank you
very nice explanation. one question - how do we account for partial year.. if the rental got in service in april - do i prorate all the deductions such as mortage interest, property taxes etc or only the depreciation?
Awesome video, thank you! What do you suggest for reducing amount paid in taxes, while still showing income sufficient to continue getting approved for a traditional mortgage to purchase a new primary residence? Thanks!

Good afternoon. I have a rental property. I want to install solar panels. With the new code, can I claim the property as a “business “? Thank you. The idea is to get the federal credit and all the benefits involved.
I purchased my property on 6/30 and did repairs and maintenance until 8/15… started fielding offers. What happens for those months where the property was technically serviceable?
So what happens if the ordinary income tax bracket you are in changes over time.....ie you buy the house while employed and then sell the house when you are retired (ie lower bracket). That depreciation recapture is then taxed at that lower bracket?
It's a longer watch and it may not answer everything you're looking to know (as the rules can get pretty complicated when it's a rental that you've also used for personal uses), but this video expands more on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/dmMsluRv3Zg/v-deo.html
Thanks! I have no video or film background but found I get decent enough results doing it all myself using the following: Filmora9 to do the actual editing. The full-screen slide overlays are done in PowerPoint where each slide is exported as its own standalone PNG file. And I also use Canva to do some of the images and graphics such as the intro and outro pages
should i use tax court method or irs method??? its not vaca home, i lived in it for 6 months of the year then rentd it out when i moved...which should i use
Seems hash with improvements. I had a leaky bathtub that had rust and rundown floors in bathroom. I fixed those and spent $9000 which essentially is bathroom renovation as well. I don’t know why It shouldn’t be deductible!
Quick question> Thanks in advance.. Let's say I loaned 200K to buy a rental property.. I get a monthly 1300 rental payment from it but I need to pay the loan 1000 per month.. So the yearly tax is only applicable to the year net of 2400? Any tips? Practicality wise?
If you're getting $1,300 per month of rental income, your gross annual revenue you have to report would be $15,600 ($1,300 * 12). But then against that revenue you can deduct related expenses, such as the interest portion (but not the principal repayment portion) of your mortgage payments, property tax you pay on the rental, any utilities you pay on the rental, any repairs you make on the rental, and you can also deduct depreciation of the rental property. So then all said and done, it's the net amount of rental income on which you have to pay tax, where the net amount is $15,600 of gross revenue for the year, minus all of your relevant expenses for the year.
So what if you bought 3 rental properties, on payments and only 5000 goes toward principle every year and there is 15,000 in depreciation? Will that lower my regular job income -10,000?
Sort of. If you're looking to be literal and call it as it's called on the 1040, no, it's not "Other Income." Other Income would be the net rental income you get while you own and rent out the place. But when you sell it, any capital gain you have on the sale would instead be shown under the "Capital Gain or (Loss)" line of the 1040
@@RetirementPlanningEducation so what type of account is it then ?. Like i have a transaction in quickbooks that i cannot seem to classify but I know is a capital gain.
@@jorgefraga5045 I'm not an expert in Quickbooks and I'm not sure how you have the property set up and reflected in Quickbooks in the first place. But you might find this link helpful: quickbooks.intuit.com/learn-support/en-us/reports-and-accounting/tracking-capital-gains/00/247371
I'm not exactly sure as it doesn't seem black and white. But this article has some good insight: www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/is-your-rental-activity-business-investment.html
The US income tax code is the Internal Revenue Code, which is Title 26 of the United States Code, which is the country’s main collection of governing laws
Can anyone tell me if you have to charge pst and gst on a tenants rent? So if you were going to charge 1000 bucks rent. And had to charge 5% gst and 6% pst it would be 1110 you would have to charge... right? Or is charging sales tax not necessary on a rental property?
It doesn’t get rid of it, I believe it just defers its. Like the capital gain on the first property; a 1031 does doesn’t make that gain disappear, it just punts it down the road by rolling it over to be dealt with when you eventually sell the second property.
How about if we lived in that home for 2 years before turning it into a rental property? Does that mean we still need to pay the taxes (depreciation and all) when selling 10 years after renting it?
Yes. There is a special exception to exclude some of the capital gains from selling it only if you lived in it at least 2 of the last 5 years preceding the date you sell it.
3:58 closing costs are tax deductible on rental property. I’m using a VA loan to purchase a duplex, can i deduct half of closing costs since I’ll be using one half of duplex as primary residence but renting other half. Or is 100 % of closing costs tax deductible?
Yes, half of certain closing costs can be added to the basis that you depreciate as part of the cost of the rental (so that gets you a deduction each year, over a period of time). Costs related to the mortgage are "amortized", which is similar to depreciation but there are some differences.
Yes, upon inheriting a property, the heir’s basis gets stepped up to date of death value (or the value six months later, if that’s what the executor or executrix decides is best)
Depends how you set up the LLC and whether your an active or passive participant in the business. It would be best to run this question by whichever tax professional does your tax returns.
The one question I had if you sell your house and you have to pay taxes on the gains. You can avoid those by buying another house or up to a certain amount $250k or $500k if your married. But is that only for primary houses not rentals ?
The $250,000 and $500,000 exclusions are only for primary residences, but you could still defer the tax by participating in the exchange you’re referring to.

should i use tax court method or irs method??? its not vaca home, i lived in it for 6 months of the year then rentd it out when i moved...which should i use
It would be best to run that question by whomever does your taxes, as I'm not sure which one would be better for you and your specific circumstances
Thank you for the video. Is property tax not deductible?
A rental property’s property tax is a deductible expense as it’s a cost of having the rental income.
@@RetirementPlanningEducation thank you!
Seems hash with improvements. I had a leaky bathtub that had rust and rundown floors in bathroom. I fixed those and spent $9000 which essentially is bathroom renovation as well. I don’t know why It shouldn’t be deductible!
Quick question> Thanks in advance.. Let's say I loaned 200K to buy a rental property.. I get a monthly 1300 rental payment from it but I need to pay the loan 1000 per month.. So the yearly tax is only applicable to the year net of 2400? Any tips? Practicality wise?
If you're getting $1,300 per month of rental income, your gross annual revenue you have to report would be $15,600 ($1,300 * 12). But then against that revenue you can deduct related expenses, such as the interest portion (but not the principal repayment portion) of your mortgage payments, property tax you pay on the rental, any utilities you pay on the rental, any repairs you make on the rental, and you can also deduct depreciation of the rental property.
So then all said and done, it's the net amount of rental income on which you have to pay tax, where the net amount is $15,600 of gross revenue for the year, minus all of your relevant expenses for the year.
So what if you bought 3 rental properties, on payments and only 5000 goes toward principle every year and there is 15,000 in depreciation? Will that lower my regular job income -10,000?
Great job, thank you
Amazing video.
Is capital gain considered other income ???...great video
Sort of. If you're looking to be literal and call it as it's called on the 1040, no, it's not "Other Income." Other Income would be the net rental income you get while you own and rent out the place. But when you sell it, any capital gain you have on the sale would instead be shown under the "Capital Gain or (Loss)" line of the 1040
@@RetirementPlanningEducation so what type of account is it then ?. Like i have a transaction in quickbooks that i cannot seem to classify but I know is a capital gain.
@@jorgefraga5045 I'm not an expert in Quickbooks and I'm not sure how you have the property set up and reflected in Quickbooks in the first place. But you might find this link helpful:

If I manage the property (24/7) can I claim it as a “business”? Thank you
I'm not exactly sure as it doesn't seem black and white. But this article has some good insight:

How come no one can explain what federal law governs these taxes?
The US income tax code is the Internal Revenue Code, which is Title 26 of the United States Code, which is the country’s main collection of governing laws
Can anyone tell me if you have to charge pst and gst on a tenants rent? So if you were going to charge 1000 bucks rent. And had to charge 5% gst and 6% pst it would be 1110 you would have to charge... right? Or is charging sales tax not necessary on a rental property?
Can 1031 transfer at sale avoid depreciation recapture?
It doesn’t get rid of it, I believe it just defers its. Like the capital gain on the first property; a 1031 does doesn’t make that gain disappear, it just punts it down the road by rolling it over to be dealt with when you eventually sell the second property.
How about if we lived in that home for 2 years before turning it into a rental property? Does that mean we still need to pay the taxes (depreciation and all) when selling 10 years after renting it?
Yes. There is a special exception to exclude some of the capital gains from selling it only if you lived in it at least 2 of the last 5 years preceding the date you sell it.
great information. mahalo!
Great stuff thanks
3:58 closing costs are tax deductible on rental property. I’m using a VA loan to purchase a duplex, can i deduct half of closing costs since I’ll be using one half of duplex as primary residence but renting other half. Or is 100 % of closing costs tax deductible?
Yes, half of certain closing costs can be added to the basis that you depreciate as part of the cost of the rental (so that gets you a deduction each year, over a period of time). Costs related to the mortgage are "amortized", which is similar to depreciation but there are some differences.
Perfect
isn't the recapture of depreciation eliminated if house is transferred at death as part of estate?
Yes, upon inheriting a property, the heir’s basis gets stepped up to date of death value (or the value six months later, if that’s what the executor or executrix decides is best)
Hope you can respond: if you have a rental property under partnership LLC ( wiith 3 persons) do you use schedule E or form 1065??
Depends how you set up the LLC and whether your an active or passive participant in the business. It would be best to run this question by whichever tax professional does your tax returns.
So don’t sell is the takeaway?
Very good vid
can they?
Thanks
The one question I had if you sell your house and you have to pay taxes on the gains. You can avoid those by buying another house or up to a certain amount $250k or $500k if your married. But is that only for primary houses not rentals ?
The $250,000 and $500,000 exclusions are only for primary residences, but you could still defer the tax by participating in the exchange you’re referring to.

Points are not deductible. They can be amortized over the life of the loan.
But what is the percentage
Is it possible to get a refund at the end of the day?
Do you still pay back all depreciation if you 1031?
I believe that gets deferred as well
@@RetirementPlanningEducation Great! I love 1031's!
Once I start taking a deduction for depreciation, do i have to take it every year?
Only if it is active
Hey man you should 1031 exchange this deal. Why play checkers when you can play chess !?!??
