from SMALL BUSINESS FINANCE – Your Guide to Business Tax Planning & CPA Tax Advice · host Tiffany Phillips, CPA & Small Business Tax Strategist
Should you sell your rental property or leave it to your children? The answer could change your family’s tax bill by six figures. Tiffany explains how a stepped-up basis may reduce capital gains taxes when a property is inherited. You’ll learn why gifting property too soon—or adding a child to the deed—can create an unexpected tax problem. She also explains how a properly funded revocable living trust may help a property avoid probate while protecting important tax benefits. This episode breaks down the difference between equity and tax basis, why a date-of-death appraisal matters, and how to compare selling now with holding for your heirs. These tax strategies, tax planning, wealth planning, and major money decisions can shape what your family keeps. Listen before you sell, gift, or change a property deed.
