@Pramod Ponna

You came to the right place. I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning.

You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.

I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year. You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.

There are over 20 real estate accountants on this site. Reach out to a few and see who you like.

You can also ask members of your local real estate investors association for real estate accountant recommendations.

Good luck.

Pay the IRS and postpone buying the property. Not paying the IRS comes with serious consequences. There will always be properties to buy. Get your priorities straight.
