“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the step-up in basis at death work for real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “When a real estate investor dies, their heirs receive the property with a ‘stepped-up’ cost basis equal to the fair market value at the date of death. This eliminates all accumulated capital gains and depreciation recapture — potentially millions of dollars in deferred taxes disappear entirely. This is why many sophisticated Corona investors pursue a ‘buy, borrow, die’ strategy: buy properties, borrow against them for liquidity, and hold until death to eliminate the tax liability entirely. KDA’s team integrates estate planning with real estate tax strategy for maximum generational wealth transfer.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle rental income and expenses if I own property with a partner?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Co-owned rental properties require careful tax reporting. If you and a partner own property directly (tenants in common), each owner reports their proportionate share of income and expenses on their individual Schedule E. If the property is held in an LLC or partnership, the entity files a partnership return (Form 1065) and issues K-1s to each partner. The K-1 shows each partner’s share of income, losses, depreciation, and other items. For Corona co-owned properties, KDA’s team will ensure the partnership agreement reflects the intended economic arrangement and that K-1s are issued correctly.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “When should a real estate investor hire a CPA?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “You should hire a real estate CPA the moment you own a rental property, are considering a 1031 exchange, have a short-term rental, or are planning to sell investment real estate. These are all events with major tax implications that require proactive planning. Waiting until tax season means missing opportunities that can only be captured during the tax year. KDA’s Corona team works with clients year-round, not just in April.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can I do a cost segregation study on a property I’ve owned for years?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Absolutely. A look-back cost segregation study allows you to reclassify assets on properties you’ve already owned and take all the missed accelerated depreciation in the current tax year via Form 3115. There is no statute of limitations on this strategy. A Corona investor who bought a $1M commercial property 8 years ago and never did a cost seg study could potentially generate $200,000–$400,000 in current-year deductions. KDA will run a free feasibility analysis to determine your look-back potential.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does real estate investing affect my ability to contribute to retirement accounts?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Corona real estate investors, the interaction between rental income and retirement accounts is nuanced. Passive rental income doesn’t qualify as earned income for IRA contributions. But if you have a real estate management company or qualify for REPS, you may have earned income that supports larger retirement contributions. A Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA can be powerful tools for real estate professionals to shelter active income. KDA’s team will design a retirement contribution strategy that complements your real estate tax plan.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the tax treatment of real estate crowdfunding investments?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The tax reporting for real estate crowdfunding is more complex than most Corona investors expect. Each platform investment generates a K-1 (often late), and the passive activity rules apply to losses. Some platforms conduct cost segregation studies that generate large depreciation deductions — but these passive losses are only useful if you have passive income to offset or qualify for REPS. KDA’s Corona real estate CPA team will review all your crowdfunding K-1s, track passive loss carryforwards, and integrate platform investments into your comprehensive tax strategy.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle the tax implications of a short sale or foreclosure on rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Corona real estate investors facing a short sale or foreclosure, the tax consequences can be significant and counterintuitive. You may owe taxes even though you received no cash — because the debt discharged is treated as proceeds. The good news: multiple exclusions may apply (insolvency, bankruptcy, qualified real property business indebtedness). KDA’s Corona real estate CPA team will analyze your specific situation, determine which exclusions apply, and prepare the required IRS forms to minimize your tax liability from the distressed disposition.”

}, {
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I calculate my basis in a rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Calculating basis for a Corona rental property requires tracking several components: (1) original purchase price plus closing costs; (2) plus capital improvements over the ownership period; (3) minus accumulated depreciation (including cost segregation deductions); (4) minus any casualty losses claimed. The resulting ‘adjusted basis’ determines your taxable gain when you sell. Many investors underestimate their accumulated depreciation, leading to surprise tax bills at sale. KDA’s team maintains detailed basis schedules and models your gain exposure annually.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the $25,000 passive loss allowance work for rental property owners?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The $25,000 passive loss allowance provides meaningful relief for lower-income rental property owners, but it’s largely irrelevant for high-income Corona investors. If your AGI exceeds $150,000, the allowance is completely phased out. For investors above this threshold, the strategies that matter are: (1) STR loophole for short-term rental losses; (2) REPS election for full-time real estate professionals; or (3) accumulating passive losses to offset future passive income or release upon property sale. KDA’s team will map your specific passive loss situation.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I optimize my real estate tax strategy if I’m a high-income W-2 employee?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For Corona W-2 employees who invest in real estate, the passive activity rules are the primary obstacle to tax savings. Rental losses are trapped in the passive bucket and can’t offset your salary. The two most effective solutions: (1) the STR loophole — short-term rentals with average stays of 7 days or less, where you materially participate, are non-passive; losses offset W-2 income directly; (2) REPS qualification by a spouse who works 750+ hours in real estate. KDA’s team will determine which strategy is feasible for your situation and design the implementation plan.”
