Aiola CPA, PLLC

Most STR owners assume they qualify for the tax strategy that lets short-term rental losses offset W-2 income, but most don't.

The rules are specific:

* Average guest stay has to be 7 days or fewer for the year
* You have to log more than 100 hours on the property
* You must materially participate

Miss either of those, and the losses stay locked as passive carryforwards.

On Tuesday, June 9 at 3pm EDT, we are running a live session that walks through the strategy end to end.

The qualifying tests, the case law, the cost segregation layer that drives the size of the Year-1 loss, and a real-life example with realistic numbers.

Registration is $99 and includes the replay, slides, and our exclusive STR Tax Savings Calculator.

❓ FAQ: Do I Really Need to Track Income and Expenses by Property?
Short answer: yes. A combined P&L tells you very little about how your portfolio is actually performing, and won't work for tax returns.

Tracking at the property level is what lets you see which properties are performing well, make management decisions based on each property's cash flow, and give your CPA numbers they can actually use. Lumping everything together creates issues at tax time.
