Kitchen pipe: So many issues - How did I survive so many repairs?

 Dec. 28, 2020

Introduction

It is hard for me to survive as a home owner. I only have one home, and I lived there from 1999 to 2010. I have to learn how to survive to go through pandemic as well. 

Kitchen pipe 

I got complaint after the renter moved in less than two weeks. The pipe was broken, and I spent two hours to contact contractors. At least I have to pay over $200 dollars for pipe for the work. 

I always stay calm since I know that housing is most important for people. 

From 1999 to 2020, 21 year old at least pipe - got rotten 

After the repair, 

Bathroom vanity: Tough project - how to make things work?

 Dec. 27, 2020

Introduction

It is easy to remove the door of vanity, it was rotten after five years. I like to talk about this project over $300 dollars. 

Coronavirus and tough time

It is my rental property and I was asked to work on this bathroom vanity. It is tough since I called my last renter the vanity is in stable condition, only front door was rotten, one time the mushroom grew from this piece of door. 

I got the same size new vanity, and I had to pay to get it installed. 

The cash is king. The building needs a new roof which costs more than $100,000 dollars, and I paid $5000 dollars in 2020 for two installments. 

Realtor study in USA

Sept. 9, 2018

Introduction

It is so nice to have friends who share the article about rental in USA on wechat. Here is the link.

More research

The idea is to copy the content on my blog first, save it on my github, and then I will research on more.

房产出租收入的所得税

外国人在美国当房东，获得的租金收入属于美国境内的收入，必须在美国缴纳所得税。对于外籍人士来讲，对租赁所得进行课税的方式由房产拥有者参与租赁经营活动的程度而定。如果只是单纯出租，即租户在支付房租外，另外自行支付房地产税、维修费用和保险费，那么房产拥有者被视为被动参与经营，这种被动租赁收入采用统一30%税率，而且税务部门需要提前扣除。被动租赁收入的30%，是指租约上房东与租户约定的租金，房东不得扣除物业费、保险费、中介费、维修费等与房屋维护相关的支出费用。

另一方面，如果外籍人士参与了日常管理、运营和维护出租房屋，那么房产拥有者就属于积极参与经营，租赁收入可以依照普通累进税率进行纳税，这时抵押贷款利率、房产税、维护费用、修理费用和折旧等费用都可以做为支出来计算所得税。外籍投资者可以选择将被动出租收入做为在美国的贸易或业务，从而按照累进税率纳税。 

在美有出租收入的外国房东，需要在每年6月15日之前应填写税务申报表格，申报给美国税务局。如果来不及准备报税材料，可以申请延期到当年10月15日。但必须要在6月15日报税截止日或之前及时递交延期申请。在递交税表时需要同时递交纳税人识别号申请表，即ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number ITIN)，这是美国国税局针对非美国税务居民，但有报税义务的人士而专门设立的识别号码。没有ITIN，就无法向美国税务局报税。

房产出售的利得税

当房产出售时，出售价格与出售成本之间（包括增值成本：如装修，维修成本等）的差额即是资本利得，投资者根据房产持有时间的长短按照资本所得收益纳税。如果是短期持有，即持有房产不到一年，则资本利得按照个人所得税的税率纳税（10%-39.6%）。如果是长期持有，即一年以上，则资本利得税为0至20%（大部分按15%）。

这里需要指出的是，外籍人士在出售美国房产时，买方将按照法律规定代扣成交额的15%做为预扣税。买方代理律师必须在房产成交后的20天内将预扣税上交美国国税局，做为非税务居民的卖方（外籍人士）将会收到售房余款以及8288A 表做为今后的报税凭证。15%的预扣税并不是卖方应该缴纳的所得税，卖方可以通过税务申报来申请退回多缴的预扣税。

对于外籍买家，房屋出租收益和出售收益都是预缴税，如果真正的税款比预缴金额低，您可以在报税时将多付的税金取回，如果真正的税款高于预缴税，在报税的时候您也有责任将剩余部分补齐。
