Accountant familiar with short term rental tax rules

Esther Rosenberg
Posted Sep 26 2022, 07:55

I am looking for an accountant who is familiar with short term rental tax rules. This will be my first year dealing with this and I want to know what to be aware of when running my rental. Details like how to file, and what to avoid, like length of stays etc. I don't want to arrive at tax season and realize that if only I knew XYZ, I could have avoided certain taxes...

I would appreciate any recommendations of an accountant that can help with this. I am located in Wilmington, NC.

Thank you!

Ryan Bakke is pretty good. Another person to consider is Tony Hoong (https://thecpadude.com/).

I just signed up with TrueBooks, which is Ryan Pineda's (featured on a few BP podcasts) company.  He's not a CPA, but it's the CPA company he created to do his taxes.

It's expensive, and I am just getting started so I can't say good or bad yet, but throwing the name out there as they are very real estate focused.

Hey Ryan I was considering truebooks as well. You said they are quite expensive. Do you mind sharing how expensive?
