Real Estate Rental Tax Update: Complete with In Depth §199A Planning (Completed)

The Tax Cuts Jobs Act turns taxation of rental real estate on its ear. Some changes are good, some are bad (or, at least, potentially bad, if we don’t know what we are doing). The §199A deduction could be crazy good for rental income, but crazy bad for rental losses. §163(j) stands as an ominous threat, like an ominous storm on the horizon. Bonus and §179 have been revamped, but is that all good or dangerous for real estate rentals? The answers lie in the particular facts of the situation.
