Generating wealth from passive income is just the tip of the iceberg. Have you thought about reducing your overall taxable income? That right! Here’s how most homeowners take advantage of reducing their overall tax burden.
Tax Deductions
Depreciation
“You can depreciate most types of tangible property (except land), such as buildings, machinery, vehicles, furniture, and equipment”
IRS
According to the IRS, the “useful life” of a rental property is 27.5 years. This means that as a homeowner you will be able to distribute the depreciation deduction across the “useful life” of the property. As a result, you will be able to benefit from a “lower taxable income” for many years.
Restoration and Betterment Deductions
Similar to the depreciation of the building, if the restoration or betterment of a building is necessary, then these costs may be depreciated and lower the overall taxable income.
According to the IRS, this type of expense is treated differently than repair and maintenance expenses.
Repair
and Maintenance
Worried about the cost of other people’s mistakes or general wear and tear? Don’t be! This is why it’s important to have an excellent property manager because these expenses count as deductions for the current tax year. It’s a win win!
Pass-through
Tax Deduction
Some owners can deduct up to 20% of their net rental income from their taxable income. Some key deductions include:
- Mortgage Interest
- Insurance Premiums
- Property Taxes
- Travel Deductions
Appreciation
“Data from the most recent HPES shows that home prices are expected to increase by 18.2% over the next 5 years. The bulls of the group predict home prices to rise by 27.4%, while the more cautious bears predict an appreciation of 8.3%”
