Shelter 2021 Capital Gains Before Tax Deadline
Mar 3, 2022
Don’t Let The Window to Defer Taxes Close
Trying to put the current investing landscape into words conjures up the famous phrase “we’ve entered the twilight zone,” a subjective statement used to describe a distinct condition between fantasy and reality. No more than a week ago life in Ukraine was moving along at a fairly normal pace, the general thought being that the Russian military buildup was more of a form of diplomatic leverage to keep Ukraine from joining NATO than anything else.
As of this writing on Wednesday night, Vladimir Putin has made good on his pledge to commence efforts to overthrow the Ukrainian government. His forces are set to surround Kyiv and put a stranglehold on the capital despite broad sanctions, collapse of the rubble and hugely vocal criticism from the global community with the exception of China, which still calls the invasion “the Russian operation”. In fact, China expressed opposition to the sanctions and called U.S. actions “immoral.”
If China plans on taking over Taiwan, they may want to take a pause, considering the “pariah” status applied to Putin and the ugly optics of this whole unpleasant scenario unfolding in real-time on every form of media. To say there is financial instability and potentially destabilizing events occurring outside of the U.S. is an understatement, and is the reason why I’m touching on these geopolitical points at a time when every one of the stock market’s major indexes is trading below their respective 200-day moving averages. Some serious technical damage has been done, in my opinion, and it will take a great deal of good news for major averages to recover the primary uptrends.
Considering this backdrop, I think one of the most comfortable positions for an investor to be in is having the option to diversify their portfolio into domestic rental properties in Class-A real estate, which is the business of Belpointe PREP (NYSE American: OZ). Let me get straight to the point. Inflation is sticky, the Fed is going to raise rates regardless of Ukraine, the stock market is enduring multiple contractions and the allure of owning foreign assets is being severely tested. Talk with your CPA and investment advisor and consider inflation-sensitive assets in essential sectors such as living space.
As for one’s tax situation, the first key tax deadline looms less than two months away and I would venture to say that thousands of investors are set to pay taxes on their realized 2021 stock market capital gains, while round-tripping unrealized gains in 2022. If this is you, you might want to talk with your CPA and investment advisor about your options for sheltering those 2021 gains, until December 31, 2026, in a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund (QOF) as well as the possibility of seeing appreciation and income on those reinvested gains going all the way out to 2047 when the Opportunity Zone program ends.
Check it out. A $500,000 capital gain reinvested in Belpointe PREP (NYSE American: OZ) can provide you with the opportunity for growth and income while federal (and in most cases state) taxes on that original $500K are deferred until December 31, 2026. What’s more, potentially any and all of the capital gains and income derived on your original $500K may be tax-free if you hold your investment for a period of ten years from the date of purchase, and can even keep earning tax-free returns until 2047.
Let me pose some serious questions:
- Do you know the entirety of your capital gains liability for 2021?
Take action and park your gains in Belpointe PREP (NYSE American: OZ) to insulate against paying capital gains taxes for this year, I suggest making it a priority to take the time to consult with your RIA, CPA, CFA and estate planners to gain full control of how to seize all the benefits of QOF investing and Belpointe PREP (NYSE American: OZ) in particular.
