In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson Advisors' Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., answer listener questions covering entity structuring, real estate tax planning, investing, and charitable giving strategies. They explain when it makes sense to form an LLC or S Corporation for a real estate flipping business and whether new investors should wait until after closing their first deal. They also discuss how profits earned inside an LLC trading stocks and stock options are taxed, and whether leaving funds in a brokerage account changes the tax treatment. Barley and Eliot break down whether a cost segregation study makes sense for a long-held commercial property undergoing significant capital improvements, and how that decision compares to selling the property, completing a 1031 exchange, and performing a cost segregation study on replacement assets. They also explore tax-efficient charitable giving strategies, including ways to contribute appreciated assets or funds designated for charity while minimizing capital gains taxes. Tune in for practical guidance on these tax-saving strategies and more!
