Webinar | Rental Real Estate Recordkeeping Practices For Property Owners
On-Demand Webinar
Recorded: Tuesday, August 6, 2019
Historically, it hasn’t been easy to determine whether a rental real estate enterprise is considered a “trade or business” for the purposes of Section 199A. So the IRS came out with Notice 2019-7 to make this determination a little clearer.
The new safe harbor rule allows individuals and entities that own rental real estate directly or through a disregarded entity to treat the rental real estate enterprise as a trade or business for purposes of claiming the Qualified Business Income (QBI) deduction as long as certain requirements are met. During this hour-long presentation, Dana Lee, CPA, will walk you through the requirements while providing a few tips to make your life easier along the way.
If you own rental real estate, view the recording of this webinar to learn:
- What requirements you must now meet to claim the QBI deduction.
- How to ensure that your logs comply with the IRS’s “contemporaneous records” mandate.
- Which rental activities are allowed to make up your annual 250 hours (minimum) worth of services related to your rental real estate enterprise and which activities no longer apply.
- Additional new safe harbor provisions related to your rental real estate property to consider when filing your 2019 tax return.
