@Aaron MoayedI'm not sure what you're asking, but I don't think redundant is the right word...A state law would be redundant if a federal law was/is passed that prescribes the exact same treatment.If there's no exact same federal law, a state law is not redundant for prescribing state treatment...

Mathew Allen Tax Question for REA/FLIPPER
25 January 2016 | 5 replies
The IRS tends to view house flipping as no different than assembling widgets and it is taxed the exact same way.Capital Gains treatment is available only for property held for investment or in the course of business (such as a rental or sometimes undeveloped land).That said, from a tax standpoint, you can and should report the flipping activity and your commission activity separately from your W-2 income.  
Clint Weir Buy & Hold With No Money Down?

David B. Real Estate IRA vs. Solo 401k
18 June 2015 | 54 replies
There are a lot of issues and no one set answer for every situation.I'll make a quick pass at a few of the key points for you:A self directed IRA or 401K is no different from any other IRA or 401k when it comes to treatment of inheritances.A spousal inheritor will have different tax treatment from a non-spousal inheritor.A specifically named, non-spousal beneficiary will be able to use their age to determine the amount of distributions that need to be taken from the account each year.
