BIGGERPOCKETS
About this episode

If you want to pay fewer taxes or outright avoid taxes in 2024, you’re in the right place. We’re about to give you all the last-chance tax tips and loopholes you can use NOW to pay WAY less in taxes in 2024. All of these are perfectly legal, but many will require some form of real estate investing. Don’t own any rental property yet? Not a problem! You can STILL start planning to pay lower taxes BEFORE you buy!

We brought back our two favorite tax experts, Amanda Han and Matt MacFarland, on to the show to share all the last-minute tax tips YOU can use to pay Uncle Sam less and keep more in your pocket. Plus, Amanda and Matt share a tax “loophole” that anyone who makes under $100K per year OR owns a short-term rental property can use to save thousands, if not tens of thousands, in taxes.

We’ll also get into common ways anyone can reduce their taxes through retirement account contributions, charitable donations, and more. Plus, the common misconception costing you thousands of dollars in write-offs that you never knew you could take!


In This Episode We Cover

The one rental property “loophole” that allows you to take a MASSIVE deduction

A huge real estate write-off any investor who makes under $100K is able to take 

Retirement investing and how boosting your nest egg can dramatically lower your taxes

Common real estate write-offs that you’ve probably missed 

How to use your home equity for tax-free income AND a big tax write-off 

What to do RIGHT NOW to avoid paying taxes in 2024 (and beyond!)

And So Much More!
