@Herb MitchellActually, there are tax considerations within an IRA.Passive income from rental income, interest, dividends and royalties are wholly tax exempt to an IRA.When an IRA (or other tax-exempt entity) engages in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis, and is therefore competing with taxpaying business,  there is a tax known as UBIT that is designed to level the playing field.  

Withdraw your 401k, pay income tax, pay tax penalty, lose opportunity of compounding interest etc - you're taking a huge L out of the gate here Do you have a track record of success?

The max income for social security/payroll tax withholding went from 118,500 in 2016 to 127,200 in 2017 this year before the tax payer is no longer required to withhold their portion of this 12.4%.

I sold two of my properties  that i owned through Naca in Jackson MS>  Naca does fund they basically shame BOA into making loans to these folks.. seller has to buy down rate.. its an incredible program really if the buyers and naca can get on the same page.... what I found was the NACA office and staff was totally disfunctional.. and there in MS the buyers were financially and business savvy challenged to the max... but once through the program and cert in hand .. and they don't F it up they do close.. not sure on the section 8 question but I have my doubts.... because people do get booted off of section 8.. its not a life long right.. although many do it for their life tax payers basically paying for their living expenses for their entire life.. but those are social issues we can't solve

If you hold a house for 6 months, shouldn't you only be responsible for 6 months of tax payments?

In the case of a taxpayer where their real estate business is clearly a full time job, those research and education hours might count, but at that point typically those hours are such a small piece of the pie that it doesn't matter.There was a tax court case in 2015 where travel time was allowed to be counted towards the 750 hour test, but my read is that the taxpayer already materially participated in the underlying rental activities before the aggregation election (they self-managed), so their drive time would be hours in a real property trade or business that they materially participate.

Hi, just to clarify Bill's correct answer, the contribution to capital will be assumed and the basis that you had at the time of the transfer will be the same for the LLC if, your LLC flows directly to the taxpayers, married filing jointly.

that's exactly why the city transferred them from downtown to Kensington of all sections, lol.the clinics that us taxpayers will be forced to pay for won't really cut back on the drug users. its basically giving them a clubhouse to get high at in various major cities. remember its not an orderly habit so even with the clinics(which will have rules) the users will still frequent the streets(panhandling etc) because they don't follow rules. that's the drug life and that's the reality of the situation.
