Taxes shouldn’t be this confusing for real estate people

If you’ve wondered, “Do I actually meet the 750-hour rule?” or “Did I miss the 7-day average stay rule for my Airbnb?”, you’re not alone. Clients tell us material participation is confusing (does answering guest messages count?), and they worry whether they can deduct STR losses against W-2 income without triggering an audit. You need simple, local guidance that’s built for how you invest or sell every day.

A local CPA team that speaks real estate, not just taxes

At The Wozny Tax Company, we make complex rules usable. We plan around your facts, document your position, and set a steady cadence so there are no surprises at tax time.

What you gain with proactive planning

Turn Passive Losses into Real Savings

  • We map REPS or STR paths that may allow losses to offset other income when the rules fit—no games, just documented hours and activities.

Clarity on Entity Choice (LLC, Partnership, S Corp)

  • We give a straight answer on “Do I need an LLC or S-Corp for my rentals?” and show Illinois-specific trade-offs for tax and payroll.

Depreciation, Cost Seg, and Cash Flow

  • From bonus depreciation to cost segregation studies, we show if it’s worth it for a small duplex or a larger asset—before you spend a dollar.

Quarterly Confidence (Not Just in April)

  • We set estimates, log reviews, and “checklist” touchpoints so you know if you still qualify for QBI and stay aligned with your plan.

How our process works

Top Rated Mokena Small Business Accounting

  • 1) Discovery Call (30 minutes, this week) : We learn your goals, income mix, properties, and pain points (REPS, STR, QBI, 1031, entity choice).

  • 2) Prior-Return Review (3–5 business days): We scan prior returns, Schedule E, depreciation, and entities to spot quick wins and risk areas.

  • 3) Strategy Build: REPS / STR / Entity (7–10 business days): We draft your plan: hours tests, 7-day/30-day rules, documentation, entity modeling (LLC vs S Corp vs partnership), depreciation roadmap.

  • 4) Implementation & Quarterly Check-ins (ongoing): We execute elections, log templates, safe-harbor statements, and meet quarterly to adjust.

LLC vs S Corp vs Partnership (for Illinois landlords & operators)

Single-Member LLC

When it fits : Holding rentals with simple ownership; legal protection with pass-through simplicity
Watch-outs : Generally passive for LTR; payroll not required; QBI depends on facts

Partnership (Multi-Member LLC)

When it fits : Co-owned rentals, spouse/partner structures, syndications
Watch-outs : Clear operating agreement; track capital accounts and allocations

S Corporation

When it fits : Active broker/agent income or management company; flips/rehabs with payroll
Watch-outs : Payroll compliance; not ideal for holding long-term rentals themselves
We’ll tailor the combo (e.g., rentals in LLC/partnership, management in S Corp) to your facts and Illinois filing needs.
