- [Toby Mathis] If you buy a property
[5]
let's say $100000
[8]
and you sell that property after five years
[10]
and it sells for $150000,
[13]
will I be taxed on the $50000 of gain,
[15]
or will I get my $100000 dollars back
[18]
without paying taxes?
[19]
Do you want to play with this one?
[20]
- [Jeff Webb] Yeah, I mean lets look at the easiest scenario
[23]
that you bought $100000 worth of land.
[25]
You're speculating on the price going up.
[28]
- [Toby Mathis] Mmhmm
[29]
- [Jeff Webb] Five years later you're able to sell it
[31]
for $150000, you're going to be taxed a
[34]
capital gains rate since it was an investment on
[37]
the $50000.
[38]
- [Toby Mathis] Mmhmm
[39]
- [Jeff Webb] So we're talking the long-term capital gains
[41]
rates, which is either going to be 0, 15 or 20 percent.
[45]
- [Toby Mathis] Yeah
[46]
- [Jeff Webb] Now let's say that you're investment
[49]
is a rental property, anything you might be
[51]
taking depreciation from.
[53]
- [Toby Mathis] That's the big one so you have it
[54]
five years and you may be depreciating this copy.
[58]
- [Jeff Web] Then you're going to have the $50000
[60]
in capital gains but you're also going to have
[62]
some depreciation recapture.
[65]
That is you're going to have to recognize as income
[69]
what you previously depreciated.
[71]
- [Toby Mathis] Yeah so in english, 'cus this gets
[73]
really murky, if you buy a rental property and
[77]
you have a house on it,
[78]
the IRS says, hey that house is going to last
[81]
27 and a half years.
[82]
They're omnipotent, they know how long it's going to
[84]
last.
[85]
So they let you take 127.5 against whatever
[89]
income you're generating.
[90]
- [Jeff Webb] Mmhmm
[91]
- [Toby Mathis] And right it off.
[91]
That's called depreciation whether you make
[94]
a dollar or not, you're getting that depreciation.
[96]
So it's whether you're, how you're able to take it.
[100]
In addition you have all that gain.
[102]
So Jeff's absolutely spot on.
[105]
The return on your capital, what they call the faces
[108]
you're going to get back tax free.
[110]
Any depreciation, you're going to pay whatever bracket
[113]
you're at half to 25%, so it could be a 10, 12
[117]
it could be something lower but it's going to be
[119]
capped at 25% and then you're going to pay
[121]
long-term capital gains on the rest, the 50
[125]
and that's going to be at either zero or 15 or 20%
[128]
plus your state taxes.
[129]
- [Jeff Webb] Right
[130]
- [Toby Mathis] Plus if you make too much money
[131]
then that investment income tax is another 3.8
[135]
if you make over a quarter mil I think.
[138]
Is that right?
[139]
- [Jeff Webb] Yeah yeah that is right
[140]
- [Toby Mathis] We throw this stuff out there.
[142]
We just sit here and banter back and forth.
[144]
He's looking at me like what the hell
[145]
are you talking about?
[146]
- [Jeff Webb] Well I thought you were going to say
[147]
the account sometimes gets murky.
[149]
- [Toby Mathis] Yeah no (muffled response)
[152]
Somebody asked on that previous question,
[154]
by the way, what if you have an LLC an not a
[156]
C-corp?
[157]
An LLC does not exist to the IRS.
[159]
So the easiest way to think of an LLC
[161]
is it's a wrapper.
[162]
The IRS says I don't care what the wrapper
[164]
is, what is inside and you tell it,
[166]
it's a partnership, it's a corporation,
[169]
it's an S-Corp, it's a C-Corp.
[172]
So an LLC just means that the IRS needs to be
[176]
told what it is.
[179]
- [Jeff Webb] Yeah and one thing on the C Corporations
[183]
while they do recognize capital gains and losses
[185]
there are no special rates for capital gains and
[188]
losses.
[189]
- [Toby Mathis] Yup
[191]
Somebody else asked about that same previous question
[195]
Do they know where they should be an LLC or Inc?
[198]
You're asking the same thing.
[200]
I would make it a C-Corp just to be safe because
[203]
now we're not worried any full through.
[206]
And yeah if you have an LLC it's disregarded
[210]
and you own it, then it's a sole proprietorship.
[214]
We'll keep jumping on these ones.
[217]
Oh and somebody just said hey on this question
[219]
this last question they had, there was a
[221]
10:31 exchange.
[223]
So you wouldn't pay any taxes with a
[225]
10:31 exchange as long as you meet the 10:31
[227]
exchange rules you roll forward the bases,
[230]
which is you're not going to pay any tax
[233]
on the depreciation or on the capital gains.
[236]
You just roll that forward into the next property.
[241]
That's kind of an interesting mix.
[243]
You don't have to worry about it.
[244]
Just make sure you do your 10:31 exchange.
[246]
Alright.
