from Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network
Kerry Lutz interviewed Anne Gannon, a CPA specializing in tax advice for real estate investors, focusing on critical tax reporting issues. Gannon highlighted a common error among investors: misclassifying property improvements as repairs, which can complicate loan applications. She emphasized the necessity for clients to remain informed year-round to prevent surprises during tax season, citing a specific case where improper expense categorization led to mortgage difficulties. The discussion also covered the implications of bonus depreciation on tax returns, with Gannon noting the potential reduction from 100% to 40% and its significant impact on investment decisions. She clarified the different tax treatments for short-term rentals versus residential properties and mentioned that many clients are now undertaking cost segregation studies to enhance their tax understanding. Gannon offered to provide a checklist to help clients navigate these tax complexities.
