Tax Tuesday with Toby Mathis 02-02-2021

Tax season is near. Toby Mathis and Jeff Webb of Anderson Advisors answer your bookkeeping, real estate, and other tax-related questions. Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.

Highlights/Topics:

• What happens when you donate a business vehicle that you used Section 179 on in 2019 and 2020 and then you donate it to a non-profit organization in 2021? If you take Section 179 before five years of ownership, you will need to recapture the gain
• I have a rental in Phoenix, Arizona, that I am installing solar on. I’ve seen that I would qualify for the 26% federal tax credit as well as take the depreciation for the remaining amount that is being financed. Is this accurate? You can take a 26% credit for personal solar, but a deduction lowers your income; for business purposes, you can take 26% plus depreciation
• If I invested in an Opportunity Zone last year with capital gains, I understand the taxes are deferred until 2026. Are those taxed at 2020 rates or 2026 tax rates? The 2026 rates because the income, not the taxes on that income, is being deferred until 2026
• I’m selling a house that I inherited. I am on Social Security disability. Will the sale of the house affect my status? A sale of a home or any property has no affect on your Social Security; only early retirement income impacts your disability status
