When it comes to taxes, rental property owners need a strategy to stay organized year-round. Tax deductions help landlords reduce their tax liability and maximize the ROI on their real estate investments.
Azibo helps to ensure a stress-free tax season while allowing you to take full advantage of the real estate tax benefits for independent landlords. Here are some ways that Azibo helps you make the most of tax savings.
- Expense management
Real estate investors can deduct a range of expenses to reduce their tax liability. Rather than manually reviewing transactions from multiple bank accounts at the end of the year, Azibo helps you track and categorize expenses in real time.
Once you’ve connected your accounts and imported your transactions to Azibo, you can assign each one to a unit, property, and/or portfolio. Then use Azibo’s bulk editor, transaction splitting, and other helpful tools to tag each transaction as a specific income or expense category.
Azibo allows you to categorize expenses from all of your linked bank accounts — not just your Azibo bank account — and also includes tags for CapEx, which is treated differently than expenses, to help you maintain compliance.
