RE Tax and Portfolio in multiple states

[Tiffani T.]

Hello all BPs 

If you have real estate portfolio in different states, do you use a "real estate tax accountant" or an a specialized real estate attorney to assist with end-of-year tax filing?  I am looking for an accountant specialized in real estate in Seattle or Houston areas but although seems to experience a challenge in obtaining one as most accountants are general tax accountants.

Thanks in advanced

Houston is located within Texas which does not have a state income tax
Seattle is located in Washington which also does not have a state income tax.

Therefore, you may be more free in your search for an accountant.

In general though, you may have to file a state tax return in a state that does have a state income tax.
