Tax benefits for newbies - wait to close on STR until 2023?

Amy L. Pagels
Posted

We are new investors and looking to put an offer down on our first property in the next week as a STR. My question is for tax purposes, are we hurting ourselves in terms of the qualification of materially participating and maximizing tax deductions on our W2s by purchasing so late in the year? With the holidays coming up and a current owner that doesn't want to leave until 12/17, we will likely NOT be set up on Airbnb w/ guests in 2022. Should we wait until 2023 to close on the house or are there still tax benefits to closing in 2022? Thanks in advance!

    On the material participation, it doesn't mean just management. Here are the rules around material participation. If you just talk to guests, alter calendars etc, you might not meet the requirements.
