What You Get
What does real estate accounting cover?
ProTax USA covers entity-level records, income statements for banks and partners, depreciation tracking, quarterly estimates, and annual filings. Multiple LLCs across states need clean books at every level, not just a year-end summary. ProTax USA's Enrolled Agents specialize in depreciation recapture, passive loss rules, and basis tracking that most general firms handle poorly. Routine bookkeeping at the asset level matters every time you approach a lender or bring in a partner, because the first thing they'll ask for is a clear picture of what each asset actually generates.
How It Works
What tax strategies matter for real estate owners?
A 1031 exchange defers capital gains when you reinvest in qualifying replacement properties within IRS deadlines. ProTax USA tracks the 45-day identification window and 180-day close, coordinates with your intermediary, and files the election so it holds under audit. Miss either deadline and the deferred gain becomes taxable immediately. Cost segregation is a separate approach: reclassifying building components into shorter depreciation schedules accelerates write-offs in early ownership years. On a $2 million building, that typically yields $150,000 to $300,000 in year-one tax savings and a real tax credit depending on participation level. ProTax USA models the outcome before recommending the study so you don't pay for an analysis that won't return its cost.

Why It Matters
Who does ProTax USA work with in real estate?
ProTax USA works with realtors, operators, and property managers across residential and commercial real estate. A landlord holding single-family rentals needs a different setup than a developer managing construction draws and multi-entity capital structures. A broker or agent earning commission income has a different reporting obligation than an owner collecting passive rental income. ProTax USA's real estate team handles all of it. The firm helps every type of owner understand their specific obligations, a property manager runs books for someone else's assets and faces a different challenge than an owner managing their own portfolio. ProTax USA also coordinates with banks, legal counsel, and financial advisors to keep the numbers aligned across everyone involved in a deal, because tax and finance misalignment is where most complex transactions run into trouble.

What do real estate accounting services cost at ProTax USA?
ProTax USA's accounting services for the sector start at $200/month for a single-entity real estate client with two or three properties. Real estate companies with multiple entities, payroll, and multi-state filings typically run $500 to $1,500/month. ProTax USA customizes every engagement to actual business needs because no standard package fits a company managing 50 units, an operator mid-construction, and a passive owner at the same time. Specialized studies and project-level work carry separate fees. Book a free consultation to see where your portfolio lands and get a competitive quote based on your actual situation.

Why choose ProTax USA for your real estate taxes?
Most general accounting firms treat real estate as a secondary category. ProTax USA's accounting professionals focus entirely on owners, developers, and operators in the real estate industry, which means passive activity deductions, qualified opportunity zone elections, and depreciation strategy are standard workflow items, not occasional projects. When a client faces an IRS audit or a complex transaction, ProTax USA already has the documentation, because the records are built to that standard from day one. Real estate tax rules change, and staying current on regulation means monitoring updates that affect every entity in a client's structure. ProTax USA does that as part of every engagement. The firm stays current on regulatory changes without passing that burden to you.
