391. Can This “Disaster Relief” Tax Strategy Really Offset W-2 Income?
In this episode, Tom and Nate break down a disaster relief housing promotion involving metal container housing, special grantor trusts, material participation, and significant first-year depreciation deductions. They also examine additional red flags surrounding the financing, at-risk rules, potential cancellation of debt, depreciation recapture, and what taxpayers should do when they're presented with an aggressive strategy that sounds too good to be true.
