Great video with only one warning to those looking to pay $0 taxes. I have been self employed since 2005 and have never looked back. And I learned early on that when I wrote everything off, did all the deductions I could and wiped out any and all tax obligations…it then became almost impossible to borrow money or buy a house because I wasn’t showing a profit. (It was all expensed and deducted out) Since that time, I make sure I don’t completely write everything off or deduct absolutely everything WHEN I know I’m going to be applying for some sort of large credit. If a business is a side hustle this is less of a concern because you have your income but still, you’re going to need to show creditors there’s money left over to pay for whatever you’re borrowing for.

[@303Estates]

Keep in mind a good banker should add back in things like depreciation loss, since this is a "paper loss" and is NOT $$ spent, therefore increasing real profits. And if you run good books, and show actual cash in vs. real cash expenses, once again, they will see you are in good financial shape. The key is to establish a good relationship with your banker (and commercial bankers are a lot for savvy than residential bankers) . Great video

[@gt-c-]

WRONG...!!! There are many LARGE companies that have ZERO REVENUE, clearly ZERO PROFITS...and hundreds of employees...therefore they write off ONLY EXPENSES !

[@ckm-mkc]

Also keep in mind that if you follow that strategy, you are at much higher risk of audit, esp. if you make less than $400k/yr. Why? Because at that income level, the IRS knows you can't afford expensive lawyers so it will be much easier to audit you. In fact, I have been told by the IRS agent who has audited me a number of times that they have been told to stay away from high earners. Re: audits - audits are actually a good thing (although they are a huge time sink) as long as you are doing everything legal and have all the documentation to prove it. For me, they are a sign that you are actually expensing the max possible amount. I've been audited 3 times and every time I'm told I'm the best prepared person ever.... There's always something you miss, last time it was an unprovable mileage deduction which cost me $600.....

[@spirokalu]

[@jorgeb4585]

I think there's a problem with those deductions in the rent example. Yes you have 9K deductions for your home office space, but this doesn't translate into 9K savings in taxes. It means that 9K of your business income is not taxed, but you can't subtract that from your taxes, only from the income.

[@gregorydanielscpa]

I was about to post the same thing. That’s a rough error.

On paper it's all money spent and you have $0 in your pocket, but in reality you will have savings sitting in you pocket. Nothing to tax on paper.

[@DavidZCPA]

Was going to say the same. Sure, it reduces taxable income by 9k, but the actual tax benefit will dependent on their nominal rate. Also, that space has to be used regularly and exclusively for the business to qualify for the deduction.

If you deduct all the way down to 0 this is one of the audit risk red flags .. also when you have too many deductions on schedule C , meals , home office expense it also raises the chances of an audit ..if you continuously report negative or 0 the irs might consider it a hobby and not a profitable business ..

[@ivansmashem]

Exactly. I work from home, but there is no way for me to save on taxes as a result because my deductions would be far less than the threshhold required, which is tied to the standard deduction amount.

​@@ivansmashem do you use home office write offs? Like deducting internet, part of rent/mortgage/utilities/etc.

[@ivansmashem]

@Daniel Harris Thanks for the question, Daniel! I don't. My complete itemized write offs do not yet exceed the standard deduction. While I forget the exact number, I believe there is also a minimum requirement of around $3,000 or so of business expenses before one qualifies for an itemized deduction, or it is just some amount above the standard deduction; I don't recall. Since my total home business expenses do not come close to that amount, nor do I yet benefit from itemizing, I just take the standard deduction. Now, once my wife and I purchase a new home compared to our cheap row home, and my investments increase, I believe I will benefit from doing itemized deductions, but we are probably 3-5 years away from that.

[@timdefor8858]

Great video. Inspires me to rethink my small business. One observation. If you expense 25% of your living space and $3,000 rent, you don’t save the full $750 a month in taxes. You only save the taxes on $750. At the 22% bracket that would be $165 a month or$1980 a year, not $9,000 a year. Still worth it!

[@BrianW211]

Most of the stuff mentioned is simple business accounting, like subtracting actual business expenses from gross revenue and only paying taxes on net profit. There's a complete misrepresentation on the "deduction reduction" with the rent deduction example (basically, business use of your home). It says it "saving $750 in taxes per month" and "a savings of $9000 per year in taxes." No. It reduces your taxable income by those amounts, and the actual tax savings is likely only about 25% of those figures for a typical person. There's the example of getting 3% interest on a portfolio loan and investing it to get 8% in the market. Yeah, except that portfolio loans start at closer 7% and go into the 14% range. Depreciation recapture was conveniently ignored when discussing real estate rental income.

[@BSGSV]

11:14 GREAT outline. You forgot to mention qualified dividend income also falls into that "no tax if less than $44k" limit.

[@JaredaSohn]

Perhaps I am mistaken, but as I remember it you have State Taxes (for most states) that don't make a distinction between capital gains (Long or Short-term) and income. In other words: Whereas federally if you make under the ~$44,000 threshold on Long-term you'll pay the federal government 0%, on the individual state level you will still be required to pay whatever % of tax is required by your state for their individual "income" tax (again most don't make a distinction between capital gains [Long or Short-term] and other income). So for tip number 4 it is important to remember that whereas federally you may not be taxed for Long-term capital gains under ~$44,000, your state tax will likely be different.

Income Tax is illegal. The word income isn't defined in the law. It isn't required by law. The law states that it is suggested. Not mandatory. The law also expired at the end of the war. That was never changed. Congress looked into it some time ago and they said there was only 3 classes of citizens that had to pay it. 1. Citizens of Washington DC. 2. Federal Employees. 3. cooperations. At that time a rich businessman put out a bounty for anyone who could prove that it was legal. To my knowledge, this money has never been claimed ay anyone.

[@johnlile7562]

For my small business, I was told to take depreciation. It did help quite a bit on the taxes I owed each year, which did allow me to invest more into it. What I was never told when I came closer to retirement, and was ready to sell my business, was that all of that depreciation I had for all of those years is now due to the IRS when you sell it in the form of capital gains tax. Nobody ever tells you that. However, I was told, if you sell it you can do a 1031 exchange. Which allows you to sell your business, then go out and buy a like kind business for same amount or higher, and you won’t have to pay the capital gains tax, But that too, is only a deferment. There is another thing called the Delaware State Trust (DST), but it has pros and cons as well, but is something to consider. Besides, retirement is what I had in mind, not start another business. I was told one thing to do is just keep your existing business, and die with it, which is what a lot said was their strategy, and AIUI, you and your heirs won’t have to pay the capital gains tax. At present I believe that is up to 11 million for singles, or 22 million for couples. These laws change all of the time, so you really need to find somebody that specializes in this.

For us dependent on W2 income, take full advantage of your company’s benefits. At some companies, you can effectively get another 50% pay by maxing all the benefits.

[@SHEBADOG12345]

Your first example "page 159" I'm guessing section 162 ordinary and necessary Busniess expenses, will only work to offset income related to a Busniess. That doesn't work for W-2 employees or for W-2 income. If you do have 1099 income you might be subject to SE tax and estimated payments. Also, you can't use 1099 expenses to offset W-2 income. The rent concept is good but only works for 1099 income and if you own the property you will be subject to recapture on the home office deduction if you sell it. The rental income section is problematic. Again, this only works for 1099 income unless you are one of the very very few people who use Sch. A. You don't deduct your mortgage payments you only deduct the interest. Depreciation taken on fixed assets is subject to recapture if sold. Not a huge deal because of 1031 but you didn't mention that. Infact you advised against using a 1031 transaction by insted leveraging the property. Also, personal net operating losses are subject to limitations if the taxpayer is not a real estate professional, sec. 469. Most of the information you are giving is not applicable to most people and some of it isn't even applicable to the rich. I recommend that people talk to a tax professional if they have a complex tax situation.

[@robcanad]

There last part of your video was the most relevant as these are no risk ways of saving on taxes. Anyone who has done basic research into financial planning should already be well aware of these tax breaks. However leveraged investing such as the real estate example you gave is a two edged sword. If you are in a recessionary market you can lose a lot even get wiped out. Buying stuff you don't really need for a business can lower your taxes but it also lowers your liquid assets which is not necessarily a good thing.

[@KathrynFritze]

Check out Holy Schmidt’s channel

[@ThePyrshepnBelgn]

Thanks for doing this video, and yes, Free Tax USA is the best tax software out there.

[@MrCloudArchitect]

Awesome video on property income

[@kathycundey5187]

All of this is extremely good information. Young people should be learning this as part of the education system. Taxes are like that of the casino…..their job is to separate you from your money as quickly as possible. My question though is….did anyone pay attention to the flipping of those burgers? Never have l ever seen burgers jump onto a spatula as if by magnet, l watched it two time to make sure l saw what l saw.

The best way to lower your tax is to adjust your w4 at the beginning of the year. For the average person this is it. Then budget and save

[@caravanmaint]

One question. Are you filing as a Sole Proprietor or as a Llc?

[@Millennialmoney101]

What type of loan is #2? I wish I would’ve done this

[@solice8844]

At 9:33 your mortgage fees deducted cannot include any principal payments.

[@s.on.y]

Great video! What do you think about the Roth 401K?

[@LennyYT]

Great video🎉 hope you can continue documenting your tax journey 🍿 any reads or KZbin channels to dig deeper on your 5 points? 🙏🔥🚀

[@nairaamirkhanyan7416]

Overall, not a bad video (I am an EA studying for CPA), however there is a small correction. You cannot take out the whole mortgage payments. Only interest part of it deductible, which goes down year by year. And the concept is very simple: if you don't pay taxes on borrowed money because it is not an income, you cannot take deduction when you pay it back!

[@ryanheller5424]

I'm an EA as well, there is far more than one thing wrong with this video.

[@nairaamirkhanyan7416]

[@jackchen5290]

Property investor often take out an interest only loan, so all payment to the bank are tax deductible.

[@nairaamirkhanyan7416]

@@jackchen5290 that’s not a right thing to do! Even for property investors! If you recognized loan proceeds as income when you received it (which I doubt) then you can deduct the whole amount of payments. The correct way is only deduct the interest portion of payments which is reported in box 1, form 1098. You are welcome 😀

[@jackchen5290]

@@nairaamirkhanyan7416 I’m talking about the type of loans you can take out as investor where you do not pay down the principle. You are welcome

Wealth managing is different from accumulating income, and the lack of investment knowledge in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples provided are relevant, and personally, I benefit from the market every time, as I embrace challenging times with the help of my financial advisor *Christy Val D'souza* , while others tend to avoid them. Well.

[@davisj.miller1541]

The best way to go about either your retirement or investments as a newbie is by working with a professional that is licensed. Someone that has the heart and will to teach. Someone that can guide you on the right path to archiving best result in good time, and I will gladly tell you *Christy Val D'souza* is that person.

[@davisj.miller1541]

Yes, just as I said, *CHRISTY VAL D'SOUZA* is the best stockbroker, investment portfolio manager and financial advisor I know. This is because I have tested her services firsthand. She has never failed me or anyone I recommended to her. She is very trustworthy.

[@davisj.miller1541]

look up her complete name on the web, confirm her details and get in touch with her.

[@rpruneau68]

I understand the concept of not paying taxes on existing wealth (Assets) by playing a shell game but how is one who draws a substantial INCOME able to reduce that to a point where they are only showing an amount equivalent to the standard deduction. How are they able to pay for an auto loan / mortgage / insurances / medical and other large PERSONAL expenses without showing an income to match?

[@jonathanhernandez4304]

I majored in finance and worked at a large CPA firm. I guess I never considered this as news. But I see here that many in society don't have much of an understanding. Glad that you are doing this. Also you should include how many jobs and value to the dollar are created by these people (businesses) through employment and innovation. A number that could not be matched if the Government took all this money in Income or Capital gains taxes. The thought that any Government could do better with this additional revenue is as simple as looking at the Department of Education. Now that we have this department, we've literally not improved on our basic scores for K -12 while spending more and more each year. Then another campaign is launched to tell Americans that things would be better if this department's budget was increased. Now look at the size of this behemoth department. R.O.I is terrible.

[@NotAFanMan88]

It's all okay, cause they're spending other people's money. Of course they don't care!

[@playwithprin331]

Good video. Question If I filed a deduction of 30% of mortgage expense by claiming part of my home is used for a business purpose, will that deduction goes to my personal income as I owned a property.

[@laurelcreagh9419]

I use Free Tax USA too and try to tell people about them lol! Their free software applies to various scenarios for your federal taxes and really beats out their online competitors.

[@jessemeyer1985]

That's assuming you don't claim standard deduction which almost everyone does

Just use the Constitution Lawfully! No need to jump through holes.

[@ALittleBitOfEverything-wd9ee]

A big part of the reason that the author has had to sell his kidney on the black market to pay for his rent:) is that he lives in New York. It has some of the highest property taxes in the United States. Which increases costs for the landlord. It is also one of the most difficult and expensive places to get permits for new construction which restricts supply. It's not really a place that I am exactly interested in living.

[@bluesky2145]

How about doing a video on tax deductions for retirees that have traditional IRA and Roth?

[@rightright6582]

What about a program for a nonfiler for sevwral years? Does freetaxusa work for that?

[@HashemRodef]

Excellent!!!

[@VincentChan]

Glad you like it! did you learn anything new from this video?

[@djjayvinales4009]

Would you happen to know about the W4 form ? Also I work remotely.. I have an office in my rental unit .. can write off my office space etc

[@noahlobene5384]

where did you find the tax code to download??

[@jjf609]

Does Free Tax USA walk you through the tax filing like TurboTax does? Thanks for the video.

[@JourneyByChris]

The only other flaw is you don't pay long term capital gains tax based on how much long term capital gains you recognize each year, it's based on income. If your adjusted gross income is 50k/yr, you're going to be taxed 15% on all long term capital gains.

[@Scott-by9ks]

If you are married filing jointly your long-term capital gains starts at above $89,250 for 2023, not bad. And anything over that amount is taxed at only 15% upto the $553,850, which doesn't really matter because I don't expect to ever realistically make that much.

[@JaredaSohn]

I thought it was a separate tax bracket that wasn't influenced by your personal income...

[@NoSh1tSherlock]

Since read the tax code. Can you show where it says we are required to pay income tax

[@johnlekkas2682]

still havent understood since you have to repay the loan dont you pay more tax next year on those repayments? so at some point you cant escape....so how do they do it? unless if you invest all the money of the loan but then how are you gonna live well?

[@SpockBorg5]

But how do you avoid getting audited

[@lu8834The1]

Fire! Is there any strategic way to Tax exempt your year and still pay no Taxes?😅

[@Sajikibara]

genuine question, what sort of loan is 3% now? how can you borrow against your house for a home equity loan at 3%? (Also where is that denim shirt from? )

[@lsellclumanetsolarenergyll5071]

Ok first point when you work you earn pre-tax income is not accurate. You TRADE your time for work. This is not taxable. Where they try to get you is if you let them PAY you in USA Currency. That is taxable. If you get instead in silver or gold it is not taxable at all. So knowing the LAW is the key.

[@bradlybaldwin9564]

Federal taxes are voluntary. The IRS is a private comp.not a government.
