Are you a real estate pro and found yourself struggling through tracking mileage, separating business and personal expenses, and trying to determine what gifts, meals, or travel can be written off on their taxes? And what is REALLY deductible at a home office expense?
Worse yet, many tax preparers out there don’t know the difference between a desk fee and a commission split, or how new IRS Obamacare reporting requirements impact the self-employed. Do you really trust them to do your taxes?
At Realty Income Tax Advisors, our practice is primarily focused on serving Realtors, builders and developers, landlords, appraisers, and other real estate professionals, and we can help you answer all these questions.
How many times have you dealt with home sellers or buyers who are not aware they have a federal IRS or Ohio tax lien!?Busy real estate pros don’t always have time to research all the seemingly contradictory rules in the convoluted IRS code. We can help you run your small business and we can also resolve some tax problems for your clients!
