Delray Beach - CPA

Tax Strategies, Explained Clearly

This site is run by Susan Toth, CPA, a licensed accountant based in Delray Beach, FL, focused exclusively on tax strategy for real estate investors, developers, and small business owners. With hands-on experience navigating IRS rules around property income, depreciation, and entity structuring, Susan breaks down complex tax topics into information you can actually use.

Who This Is For

If you own rental properties, flip houses, develop real estate, or run a small business in South Florida, this resource is built for you. Whether you're managing a single rental in Boynton Beach or a growing portfolio across Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach, the goal is to help you make smarter, more informed decisions about your tax position before filing season pressure sets in.

What You'll Learn Here

Browse the articles below to get clear answers on topics like:

  • How depreciation works for rental and investment properties, and how to maximize it
  • What counts as a deductible expense for real estate investors and developers
  • How cost segregation studies can accelerate deductions
  • Tax implications of buying, selling, or exchanging investment property (including 1031 exchanges)
  • Entity structuring options (LLC, S-corp) and how they affect your tax liability
  • Year-end tax planning moves that reduce what you owe

Why This Site Exists

This hub is separate from the main Susan Toth CPA business site because it serves a different purpose: education, not sales. The content here is free and designed to help you understand the "why" behind tax strategies before you need to implement them. Whether you're researching a specific deduction or trying to understand depreciation schedules for the first time, you can use this information to prepare smarter questions and make better decisions — no appointment required.

Real estate tax law is detailed and often counterintuitive. Small mistakes in how you classify expenses or structure a property sale can cost thousands. The articles here aim to close that knowledge gap with straightforward, practical explanations specific to investors and small business owners in the Delray Beach area and throughout South Florida.

Where to Get Personalized Help

Reading through general tax strategy is a good starting point, but every property portfolio and business situation is different. When you're ready for guidance specific to your numbers, entity structure, or upcoming transactions, professional support is available.

Susan Toth CPA serves clients throughout Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, Coral Springs, Lake Worth, Lantana, Greenacres, and Miami.
