When a homeowner plans on converting their residence to a rental, they should consider this tax-saving strategy. Our tax preparers near me highly recommend it!

Sell Your Home to Your S-Corporation

Sell their home to their S corporation before converting it to a rental property.

When a homeowner plans on converting their residence into a rental property, there are considerable tax savings by first selling the home to their S corporation.

The owner can avoid taxes on the sale with the home-sale exclusion of $250,000 gain ($500,000 if married).

Additionally, you increase the rental property’s depreciable basis, providing greater depreciation deductions for the property.
