So Your Computer Blew Up – You Get a New One and Nothing Works – HELP!

QUESTION From Dale

I recently ran an update to Windows 10
only to find that as a result
none of my software package like Excel Word and your Tenant Tracking program work now.

PC guy had to rebuild my system OS and now
I can’t get in to my company on tenant tracking
because it does not recognize the Administrator Password I had for Quickbooks.

I contacted Intuit to see if they could help my reset the password to get back in but were no help.

They said the Quickbooks PRO 2007 (Dale, this is almost 14 years old!) was outdated and the only thing I could do is update to Quickbooks PRO Desktop 2019.

If I were to do that would your Tenant Tracking software still work and access the data files I have already built and been using up to this point?

How to Enter Cash Purchase Using a Silent Private Lender

Posted on By Mike Butler

QUESTION from Stacey:
 
Hi Mike,
 
I’ve watched every video that I have access to, but I am still unclear on how to put in my private loan balances. 
 
For example, I purchased a property last year. 

I borrowed money from a private lender, put that in my account and then paid cash at closing. 
 
I entered the closing statement as a check.
 
Where do I enter the $50,000 loan I’m paying on every month? (I memorized a check I can send every month, but I don’t know where to put the balance of the loan.)
 
If I could have help with one of these properties, 
then I am hopeful  I could input the rest of them correctly. 
 
Please advise! Thanks!
 
Stacey

Used by Investors to avoid paying Capital Gains Tax Now, you can defer it.

For KISS method purposes, example used will be simple and traditional.
• Investor has a house used for a rental for 10 years
• Investor purchased house 10 years ago for 50k
• Ballpark depreciation is 51,500 per year, reducing cost to 35k
• Investor can sell rental house for 140k resulting in 105k capital gain
• At 30% tax rate, could mean over 33k in Tax owed.
• Using the 1031 procedure PROPERLY, you could keep the 33k and roll it over into another like kind investment (1 or more rental houses)

Update IRS Tax Proposal on 100% Depreciation from Mike Grinnan CPA

Posted on By Mike Butler

Proposed Rules Address 100-Percent Depreciation Deduction

Proposed regulations address the new 100-percent depreciation deduction that allows businesses to write off most depreciable business assets in the year they are placed in service.


Background
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) ( P.L. 115-97) amended Code Sec. 168(k) to increase the percentage of the additional first year depreciation deduction from 50 percent to 100 percent for property acquired after September 27, 2017. It also expanded the property eligible for the additional first year depreciation to include certain used depreciable property and certain film, television, or live theatrical productions.

Generally, the 100-percent depreciation deduction generally applies to depreciable business assets with a recovery period of 20 years or less and certain other property. Such assets include in part machinery, equipment, computers, appliances, and furniture.

The proposed regulations provide guidance on what property qualifies for the deduction, and rules for qualified film, television, live theatrical productions and certain plants.
