As of the first house neither of us took a salary at all.

We both got a K-1 splitting the final profit 50-50. That money is being taxed to each of us as personal income even though we both left all of it in the LLC's bank account.

Thanks again everybody for feedback... Hoping to do more flips this year and will try and find as many deductions as possible I guess :lol:

Taxes on a House Flip

Posted by ONTIMELSU13 on 3/5/18 at 1:07 pm
A buddy of mine and I flipped our first house last year and did fairly well on it. I knew taxes would be high but not 40% of the profit.

Is there something I'm missing? Are there ways around not having to pay 40% of profits on every flip?

We flipped the house through an LLC we formed last year. We plan to do more just hoping to find a way to reinvest most of the profits rather then send almost half to the IRS.

Thanks for any help! :cheers:
