Tax Strategy & Savings
Realtors qualify for unique tax deductions that can save thousands every year. A CPA helps you take advantage of these savings while ensuring tax compliance.
Maximize Deductions for Home Office, Mileage, Marketing, and Travel
Realtors can deduct home office expenses, including a portion of rent, utilities, and internet, if used exclusively for business. Mileage, marketing, and travel for property showings, client meetings, and networking events are also deductible. A CPA ensures proper documentation so you claim the maximum tax savings.
Take Advantage of Depreciation on Rental Properties
If you own rental properties, you can deduct a portion of the property’s cost each year through depreciation—even as the property appreciates in value. Residential properties depreciate over 27.5 years, and commercial over 39 years. A CPA ensures you're maximizing this tax-saving strategy to reduce your taxable income.
Ensure Compliance While Keeping More of Your Earnings
Realtors have complex tax situations with fluctuating income, business expenses, and real estate investments. A CPA helps you stay compliant, avoid IRS penalties, and maximize deductions while ensuring you’re setting aside the right amount for taxes—so you keep more of your earnings.
Business Structure Advice
Should you be an LLC, S-Corp, or Sole Proprietor? The right structure can impact tax savings, liability protection, and long-term growth.
Lower Your Tax Bill with Strategic Income Distributions
S-Corps allow realtors to split income between salary and distributions, reducing self-employment taxes. A CPA helps determine the best way to structure your income for maximum tax savings.
Protect Your Personal Assets from Liability
Operating as an LLC or S-Corp separates personal and business assets, shielding your home, savings, and other personal property from legal claims related to your business.
Position Your Business for Long-Term Growth
The right structure can make securing financing, expanding your business, and optimizing taxes easier. A CPA ensures you choose the best entity for your financial goals and future success.

From marketing expenses to mileage and depreciation, a CPA ensures you claim every possible deduction, putting more money back in your pocket.
