Looking for input from fellow investors on how they do taxes

Matt Gooding

New investor here who recently closed on my first 4 units. The 4 units are owned under a LLC that is set up as a partnership between me and my wife. I recently met with a CPA to discuss my tax filings for next year and learned a lot. My current understanding of the situation is:

  • I will need to file 2 tax returns
  • 1 for the LLC (this is mainly serves as information for the IRS as a LLC is a pass through tax entity)
  • 1 for my personal. 
  • The LLC form with be a 1065 and on this I will put my interest paid to my lender and my deprecation recapture. This will output a k-1 which I will then use on my personal tax returns.

The CPA was very straight forward in saying he would love my business but at the end of the day this isn't that complicated and I could probably do it on my own.

My question is: Are there other investors who do their own filings who are in a similar situation to myself?  If so, what software do you use? Is there anything major I am missing? I imagine the free version of turbo tax does not include all of this functionality.
