“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a Qualified Opportunity Zone investment and how does it compare to a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The key advantage of a QOZ investment over a 1031 exchange is that appreciation in the Opportunity Fund after 10 years is completely tax-free — not just deferred. The key disadvantage is that depreciation recapture is still taxable when the original gain is recognized (in 2026 under current law). For Peoria investors with large capital gains and a long investment horizon, combining a 1031 exchange for recapture deferral with a QOZ investment for gain deferral can be a sophisticated strategy. KDA’s team specializes in these multi-strategy exit plans.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the difference between active, passive, and portfolio income for real estate investors?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Understanding the three income categories is fundamental to real estate tax planning for Peoria investors. Rental income is passive — no self-employment tax, but losses are trapped in the passive bucket unless you qualify for REPS or the STR loophole. Capital gains from property sales are portfolio income — taxed at favorable long-term rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) plus NIIT for high earners. Active real estate income (flipping, real estate agent commissions) is subject to both income tax and self-employment tax. KDA’s team will structure your activities to minimize taxes across all three categories.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How much does a real estate CPA cost in Peoria?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The cost of a real estate CPA in Peoria depends on your portfolio complexity. Simple rental property tax prep starts around $1,500–$2,500 annually. Full-service tax planning with cost segregation analysis, entity structuring, and year-round advisory typically runs $4,000–$15,000 depending on portfolio size. KDA’s pricing is transparent and value-based — we show you exactly what strategies we’ll deploy and what savings you can expect before you commit.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is the tax treatment of real estate professional fees and commissions?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Transaction costs are one of the most commonly missed deductions for Peoria real estate investors. Buying costs increase your basis (reducing future gain). Selling costs reduce your taxable gain dollar-for-dollar. On a $2M property sale with $100,000 in selling costs, properly capturing those costs saves $20,000–37,000 in taxes. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team will review your closing statements, capture all transaction costs, and ensure they’re applied correctly to your basis and gain calculations.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is an opportunity zone investment and how does it compare to a 1031 exchange?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investments allow you to defer and potentially reduce capital gains by investing in designated low-income census tracts. Key differences from a 1031 exchange: (1) QOZ investments can be funded with any capital gain (stocks, business sales, crypto) — not just real estate proceeds; (2) QOZ defers the original gain until 2026 (or when you sell the QOZ investment); (3) If you hold the QOZ investment for 10+ years, ALL appreciation in the QOZ investment is tax-free. The 1031 exchange defers the original gain indefinitely but doesn’t eliminate it. For Peoria investors with large non-real estate gains, a QOZ investment can be more powerful than a 1031 exchange.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can I do a cost segregation study on a property I’ve owned for years?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes — this is called a ‘catch-up’ or ‘look-back’ cost segregation study, and it’s one of the most powerful strategies for investors who have owned properties for years without doing a study. Using IRS Form 3115, you can claim all the accelerated depreciation you should have taken in prior years as a single deduction in the current year. No amended returns required. KDA’s Peoria team regularly identifies six-figure deduction opportunities for investors who thought they had already maximized their depreciation.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How much can I save with a cost segregation study on my rental property?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “The savings depend on your property value, type, and your tax bracket. As a rule of thumb, cost segregation typically reclassifies 20–30% of a residential property’s value and 30–40% of a commercial property’s value to shorter-lived assets. On a $500,000 rental in Peoria, that’s $100,000–$150,000 in accelerated deductions. At a 37% combined federal and state tax rate, that’s $37,000–$55,000 in tax savings in year one alone. KDA offers a free cost segregation feasibility analysis for Peoria investors.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How does the Arizona flat tax affect my real estate investment returns compared to California?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “For investors considering Peoria vs. California markets, the tax math strongly favors Arizona. Beyond the income tax rate difference, Arizona has no estate tax (saving potentially hundreds of thousands on a large portfolio), no Prop 19 complications for estate transfers, and a simpler regulatory environment. The after-tax return advantage of Arizona over California for a typical real estate investor is 8–12% per year on state taxes alone. KDA’s Peoria real estate CPA team will provide a detailed state-by-state comparison for your investment decision.”

“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “How do I handle real estate investments in a divorce?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Divorce involving real estate creates complex tax issues for Peoria property owners. Key points: (1) transfers of property between spouses incident to divorce are generally tax-free under IRC Section 1041 — no gain or loss is recognized; (2) the receiving spouse takes the transferring spouse’s adjusted basis (including accumulated depreciation); (3) if the marital home is sold, the Section 121 exclusion may apply if both spouses meet the ownership and use tests; (4) rental property transferred in divorce retains its depreciation schedule and passive loss history. KDA’s Peoria team will advise on the tax implications of real estate division in divorce and help you negotiate the most tax-efficient settlement.”

“@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”: “High-income W-2 employees face the toughest real estate tax challenge: passive activity rules prevent rental losses from offsetting W-2 income, and NIIT applies to rental income. The solutions: (1) STR loophole — if your STR qualifies as non-passive (7-day average stay + material participation), losses offset W-2 income; (2) REPS — if your spouse qualifies as a real estate professional, rental losses become non-passive; (3) passive income generation — build enough passive income to absorb passive losses. For Peoria W-2 employees earning $500,000+, the STR loophole is often the fastest path to unlocking real estate tax benefits. KDA’s team will design the optimal strategy.”
