Hi! I’ve read that travel to your STR is a countable towards your material participation. We are purchasing in Florida and our travel would be 11 hours each way driving or we have direct flights. Would this travel time count towards material participation?

Hi everyone, I’m hoping to get some guidance in the group regarding a significant IRS refund delay. I filed my tax return on time by April 15 and am expecting a 6 figure federal refund. My IRS online account indicates that the return has been received and reviewed, but the refund has now been processing for approximately 4 months with no meaningful update. After reviewing my IRS Account Transcript, I noticed Transaction Code 810 – “Refund Freeze.” From what I understand, this means the IRS has placed a hold on issuing the refund while something on the return is being reviewed. I have tried repeatedly to contact the IRS using the customer service number and extension provided through my IRS account. I’ve called on multiple days and at different times, but every attempt ends with the automated message that, due to unusually high call volume, they are unable to take my call and I should try again later. At this point, I have waited patiently for over 4 months and am becoming increasingly concerned, particularly given the size of the refund. For anyone who has dealt with a Code 810 refund freeze, I would really appreciate your advice: - Is there a better way to reach the appropriate IRS department or get this escalated? - At what point would you recommend involving the Taxpayer Advocate Service? - Is there anything I can do to determine why the 810 freeze was placed and what is needed to have it released? - Are there any other escalation channels I should consider given the amount involved and the length of the delay? Would especially appreciate insights into this situation from @Ryan Bakke, CPA @Kevin Medina, CPA, MBA @Mason Kimball, CPA who have successfully handled a similar situation for a client. Thank you!

Hello! Is late November closing considered too late to get a cost seg stud done and meet all the requirements?

Hello, I'm a new member and happy to be here. I was wondering if the Cost Segregation report can be done for the two Manufactured homes I purchased this year and using as STRs? Not sure what the rules are and if it only applies to Single Family Homes. Thanks!

Does the time spent talking to realtor, lender and others count during negotiation after sending an offer to the seller?
