The Real Estate Tax Nightmare
These are the industry-specific tax problems that catch real estate & property management businesses off guard:
Real Estate Professional Status Audits
Claiming REP status to deduct rental losses against other income is a major IRS audit trigger. Without meticulous time logs and documentation, your deductions are denied.
The Consequence: Denied REP status means suspended losses for years, plus accuracy penalties. The IRS may also look at prior years, creating a cascade of amended returns and additional tax.
1031 Exchange Gone Wrong
Strict 1031 exchange deadlines and like-kind requirements trip up many investors. One wrong move—a missed 45-day ID deadline or boot received—and the entire exchange fails.
The Consequence: A failed 1031 exchange triggers immediate capital gains tax on the entire sale, often $50,000-$200,000+ in unexpected tax liability, plus penalties if not reported correctly.
Cost Segregation Audit Defense
Cost segregation studies accelerate depreciation, but aggressive studies or improper asset classifications attract IRS scrutiny. Poor documentation means recaptured depreciation.
The Consequence: Depreciation recapture at ordinary income rates plus interest. The IRS may also challenge the study's methodology, creating additional exposure.
