Current individual tax topics:
How do I set up my rental through Airbnb, VRBO or Home Away?
Most rental properties are set up on a schedule E and the income is considered passive which means it is not subject to self-employment income. Depreciation of the space needs to be calculated for a deduction each year. Other typical expenses may include:
- Mortgage Interest
- Property Taxes
- Insurance
- Supplies (Example: coffee, toilet paper, cleaning products)
- Repairs & Maintenance
- Landscaping & Cleaning
- Travel Costs
- Merchant & Bank Fees
- Occupancy Taxes
- Utilities
When losses are created by rental properties, the tax code contains further regulations to determine deductibility against ordinary income.
How do I set up my new business and know what is deductible?
Starting your own business is an exhilarating experience; it’s the compliance requirements that are not so much. Unless you have set up a specific business entity, the default for reporting your business income is the schedule C of your 1040 income tax return. Organization is key to getting your tax return prepared correctly. Gather the following documents:
- Business Bank Statements
- Business Credit Card statements
- Payroll Reports
- Asset purchases
- Mileage Journals and Vehicle Information
Deductions can vary greatly from one business type to another. It is important to ask your tax accountant and maintain the records if in doubt. We provide our clients with tax deductions customized over the years and tailored to their business. The tax code is enormous and if applied correctly, can result in a vast amount of tax savings opportunities.
