The overview

Owning a hotel touches nearly every complex area of the tax code: real estate depreciation, passive activity rules, the QBI deduction, multi-state apportionment, and often multiple entities in the ownership stack.

We plan around all of it year-round—modeling the tax impact of acquisitions, refinancing, renovations, and eventual sale—so April holds no surprises and every legitimate strategy is on the table.

From single-property LLCs to multi-entity portfolios with real estate and operating companies, we structure and file it correctly across every state you operate in.

What's included

  • Entity structuring (OpCo / PropCo, LLC, S-corp) analysis
  • Federal, multi-state, and franchise tax returns
  • Depreciation & bonus strategy coordinated with cost seg
  • 1031 like-kind exchange planning on acquisitions & sales
  • QBI (199A) and interest-limitation (163j) optimization
  • Quarterly estimate planning to protect cash flow

Common questions

I operate in several states—can you handle all of them?

Yes. Multi-state apportionment and lodging jurisdictions are routine for us. We file every federal, state, and local return your structure requires.

Should my real estate and operations be in separate entities?

Frequently, yes—an OpCo/PropCo structure can improve liability protection and tax efficiency. We model your specific situation before recommending any change.
