Along with diversifying your investment portfolio, investing in real estate can bring you income through appreciation or be a passive income source if you rent out your property. But what does all this mean for your taxes? What about reporting income from real estate? Keep reading as we outline the different types of real estate investments, what to know about real estate taxes, and the tax benefits of real estate investing. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rental Property Taxes | Block Advisors by H&amp;R Block\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RuztsrUus2k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-real-estate-investment\"><span lang=\"EN\">What is real estate investment?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">A real estate investment is real estate that generates income or is otherwise intended for investment purposes. This property is not regarded as a primary residence. Real estate investors often own multiple pieces of real estate to generate income and profits while keeping one piece as their primary residence. Investment real estate can be classified as commercial. This includes retail stores, office buildings, warehouses, etc. Real estate investments may also be residential, for example, single-family homes, duplexes, condos, etc. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: revert; color: initial;\"> <\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:\n12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;\nmso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Whether you already own rental property or are just thinking of making your first investment, it\u2019s crucial to understand how real estate taxes work. Generally, real investors need to know about taxes that relate to their rental income and taxes that relate to the eventual sale of the property. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" style=\"background-color:#005d1f\"><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--image\" style=\"background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/ba-sb-certified-tax-pro-brenda-w-1200x1200-1.webp&quot;);background-size:contain;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat\"><\/div><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--copy #ffffff\"><h3 class=\"main-heading\">Real estate pros can save on their taxes<\/h3><p class=\"main-copy\">Get expert tax support today<\/p><div class=\"quick-links-list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/lp\/tax-realtor\/\">File with a pro<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p><span lang=\"EN\">Types of investors in real estate<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">There are two general ways to generate income from real estate investing. One is to hold the property for a certain period before selling it for more than you paid. The second way is to maintain property ownership, rent it out, and charge others for its use. Here\u2019s a further breakdown of some frequently seen types of real estate investors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p><span lang=\"EN\">Landlord<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Becoming a landlord is a common way for people looking to get into real estate investment to enter the industry. This involves <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/tax-prep-and-planning\/3-tax-concepts-landlords-need-to-know\/\">renting out a home<\/a>, apartment, or other dwelling that you own to long-term tenants. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">Short-term rental host<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Another option is renting your property for short-term stays, typically through a service like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/manage-your-business\/short-term-rentals\/\">Airbnb or VRBO<\/a>. This is often considered a favorable option if you live in a city with a strong tourism economy. It is also one way to generate income from a property if you do not intend to occupy it full-time. Think, for example, a vacation property like a summer cabin that would otherwise sit vacant for multiple weeks or entire seasons. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert; font-weight: revert;\">Flipping houses<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Flipping houses is becoming an increasingly popular way to earn income through real estate. For this type of real estate investment, you buy a home, invest money and labor into improving it, and then sell it for a substantial profit. The potential of a big payday is attractive, but getting into the house-flipping business requires a lot of forethought and experience.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">Real estate investment trusts (REITs)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:\n12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;\nmso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">The above options all have one thing in common: the investor owns a piece of physical property directly used to make money. On the other hand, using a REIT is a different approach. Investing in a REIT involves pooling money from several investors to purchase ownership in a collection of real estate investments. Using a real estate investment trust lets investors get involved without risking too much. You\u2019ll receive a 1099-DIV each tax year for this type of real estate investment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" class=\"wp-block-create-block-hrb-large-article-cta\" style=\"background-color:#005d1f\"><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--image\" style=\"background-image:url(&quot;https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/HMC_Graphic.png&quot;);background-size:contain;background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat\"><\/div><div class=\"hrb-large-article-cta--copy #ffffff\"><h3 class=\"main-heading\">Get year-round small business help for realtors<\/h3><p class=\"main-copy\">Block Advisors has your back with tax planning, bookkeeping, incorporation services, and more.<\/p><div class=\"quick-links-list\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/lp\/tax-realtor\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"text-align:center\"><\/p><span lang=\"EN\">How is rental income taxed?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Are you a seasoned landlord, a new short-term rental host, or just beginning to understand the process of real estate investing?

For example, if you buy a property, turn it into a bed and breakfast, and provide extra services like linens, meals, or laundry, you\u2019ll likely be classified as a business. This income will be reported on your business tax return. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">Capital gains tax<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">Individual income tax<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">If you\u2019re only an investor and don\u2019t own any property, you will be responsible for individual income tax on any gains earning interest income.

Let\u2019s look at four of these perks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">1. Rental property depreciation<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">One of the biggest tax perks of real estate investing is <\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/tax-prep-and-planning\/3-tax-concepts-landlords-need-to-know\/\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto;color:#38761D\">depreciation<\/span><\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">. Depreciation allows you to deduct the costs of buying and improving a rental property over its useful life. This lowers your taxable income as a result. You can depreciate your property if all the following are true:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">You are the owner of the property<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">You use the property in your business or as an income-producing source (i.e., a rental)<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">The property has a determinable useful life. This means that it\u2019s something that wears out, decays, becomes obsolete or loses its value<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">The property is expected to last at least one year<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">2. Take advantage of incentive programs<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Incentive programs like 1031 exchanges and opportunity zones can provide major tax benefits. Using a 1031 exchange, you can defer taxes on real estate sales if you buy another investment property of equal or greater value than what you sold. You can take advantage of these exchanges as often as you\u2019d like. Opportunity zones are another way for real estate investors to delay capital gains tax. If you sell real estate, you can delay these taxes by investing in properties in certain designated communities experiencing economic hardship. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">3. Independent income without self-employed pitfalls<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Rental income is not earned income. Therefore, it\u2019s not subject to Social Security and Medicare taxes (FICA). If your real estate activity qualifies as a business, you\u2019re considered self-employed. When this occurs, you will have to pay self-employment tax that represents the employee and employer portion of the <\/span><span lang=\"EN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blockadvisors.com\/resource-center\/small-business-tax-prep\/what-is-the-fica-tax-rate\/\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto;color:#38761D\">FICA tax<\/span><\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:\nRoboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">. But with real estate investing and nonbusiness real estate activity, you avoid the FICA tax, which can be a great benefit. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">4. Tax advantage of capital gains tax<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;\nfont-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;mso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Again, capital gains tax comes from selling real estate at a profit. Short-term capital gains are profits from selling assets held for less than a year. Short-term capital gains receive no tax benefits because they\u2019re considered regular income by the IRS. Long-term capital gains are profits from selling assets held for more than a year. They do result in tax benefits. Long-term capital gains are subject to a lower tax rate and aren\u2019t counted as normal income. With long-term capital gains, your profit will fall into one of three tax brackets: 0%, 15%, and 20%. Depending on your filing status and Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), you may not have to pay any taxes on long-term capital gains. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span lang=\"EN\">Real estate investment: The bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"font-size:\n12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:Roboto;mso-fareast-font-family:Roboto;\nmso-bidi-font-family:Roboto\">Getting involved in real estate investment is one way to diversify your portfolio and make extra income.
