Featured Questions

  • 12:55 – What is the most tax-efficient way to complete a 401(k) to Roth 401(k) conversion?
  • 22:03 – How do I start a real estate business with income from our current businesses? Is this possible?
  • 31:24 – How do I elect trader status?
  • 40:16 – If you are an active investor who invests for passive income (rental income), will FICA taxes ever be required on income?
  • 45:26 – How can I identify tax breaks at certain income levels?
  • 58:54 – I 1031-exchanged a rental house from CA to an NV quad-plex (cash). How can I get LLC protection without any 1031 tax consequences?
  • 1:11:35 – What is the easiest or best accounting software to keep up with your business expenses in order to get the best tax deductions?
  • 1:17:45 – My mom and her siblings quit-claimed my grandfather’s house to me. Once I get a loan, I will pay them out of the proceeds tax-free at a price that was agreed upon. Being that technically I didn’t buy it from them with a purchase sale agreement, how would depreciation work on this house?
  • 1:22:20 – I understand that the CARES Act allows me to borrow up to $100,000 or 100% of my vested interest in my 401(k) account through 180 days from the CARES Act enactment date of March 27, 2020, and that I won’t owe any penalties or interest if I pay back the loan within five years. Also, the loan repayment period can be longer than five years if the funds are used to buy a home that is used as my primary residence. Is this information correct? Is it possible to borrow more than $100,000 from an IRA by combining it with the $50,000 401(k) maximum loan limit that existed prior to the CARES Act (i.e. take out two loans, one of $100,000 and another of $50,000)?
  • 1:30:55 – I have a limited partnership. My C-corp is 1%. The partners have different shares and they all want to do a 1031 exchange into their own purchases. Is this allowed?
  • 1:38:57 – I am a new home builder with 15 homes built a year. Do I expense home by home after they sell, or can I do fiscal year expenses and income accounting all together?
  • 1:43:31 – I need to make a real estate business in CA. I formed a Wyoming LLC. Do I need to file another CA LLC, or is it okay to register a WY LLC in CA? What’s the difference?
