I believe we have approached 5 CPA's or tax preparers in Colorado.

I would ask your CPA for the benefits of providing a loan to an LLC.

Deeds to burial sites, certain transfers of ownership in real estate companies and farms and property passed by testate or intestate succession are also exempt from the tax)There should be no taxable event unless a sale occurs or when your dad passes.At that point, you should receive the property at the stepped up basis as the life estate is null due to the death.This is tricky - it will depend on how the deed is held.You should check with the attorney who made the initial change and check with your CPA once you find the answers from said attorney.

With that said, we will still file the 1031 declaration form and 8288-B form with our CPA in hopes that the certificate gets back in time before closing. 

As a specialized real estate CPA, I'm here to provide expert guidance on your most complex tax matters, from navigating 1031 exchanges and cost segregation studies to optimizing your rental property deductions and handling multi-entity structures.

You need a good STR CPA, they’ll answer all these for you. 

We were scheduled with a CPA who is good.

I am still looking to see who offers the best value for the money 1-800 or another CPA firm.  

I ran this past people smarter than me (we are 7 partner 63 person CPA firm, so plenty of people smarter than me).

My CPA has given me any direction in this and discourages from employment of children..
