TY 2024

The use of a S corp for investment business saved our client $88,000 in 2024.

Using stepped basis for a grantor trust saved $ 47,500.00 in capital gains tax for a California trust.

Using Sec 121 home exclusion for a senior home owner coupled with stepped up basis saved a client $10,000.00 in federal tax.

Saved $29,700.00 for a trust in 2025 as it is selling a real estate investment. California has a 3% withholding on R/E sales but in this case a trust's stepped up basis from the decedent produced no capital gains subject to state withholding.

Client, a senior woman, sold her home for $500,000. There was no tax due as we used her $250,000 capital gain exclusion, and stepped up basis from an inheritance from her husband. This saved her more than $40,000 in federal tax.

Son realized his aging parents had not filed past tax returns. We prepared and filed years 2021 and 2022 federal and state tax returns. We also amended TY 2024 for omitted income. TY 2021 refund will offset taxes owed on TY 2022. 

 

Sub S Corporation

A Florida S Corp saved $93,000.00 on their medical service corporation.

A California S corp saved $7,000.00 who operated a construction firm.

A California trust saved $47,000.00 in the sale of real estate using a stepped up basis thereby reducing its capital gains.

This tax season we advised a citrus grower that a S corporation could save them $12,000 in federal self employment taxes, which we could easily create for his business.
