In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., explore the limitations of renting home office space to yourself as a sole proprietor and explain superior alternatives through S and C corporations that unlock better deductions and reimbursement opportunities. The attorneys provide detailed guidance on properly paying children through family businesses to maximize tax benefits while avoiding employment taxes, and discuss the complexities of transferring real estate to children through gift strategies. They dive deep into syndication investments, explaining passive income treatment, cost segregation benefits, and how real estate professional status can transform passive losses into active deductions. Other key topics include the master lease strategy for short-term rental owners seeking to optimize tax benefits, the mechanics and restrictions of 1031 exchanges, medical expense reimbursements through C corporations (including controversial deductions for specialty foods and safety equipment), and the proper setup timeline for nonprofit organizations. Tune in for expert insights on these advanced tax strategies and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "Can I rent my home office to myself as a sole proprietor?" - No, use home office deduction instead. "I know an owner of a small business can pay their kids to work for their company. I've heard several different facts about how exactly to do that, which contradict one another. Can you please explain the proper steps?" - Pay kids W-2 from sole prop, avoid taxes. "We were advised to transfer real estate to our children up to a certain limit using the parent-child transfer provision form 709. Can you please discuss the advantages and disadvantages? Any limitations on the amount of equity transfer and any IRS requirements, etc.?" - Not recommended, complex bookkeeping, lose stepped-up basis. "I want to join a syndication as a limited partner. What tax implications do I face at the time of distribution of profits and how does it change if they do a cost segregation and bonus depreciation while I'm still part of this syndication? An additional fact is that this person has their own long-term rental." - Passive income, and cost segregation create offsetting losses. "Are you entitled to cost segregation benefits if you invest in a syndication with your IRA/401k funds?" - Yes allocated, but no tax benefit in retirement. "Please explain the C Corporation Master Lease strategy for short-term rental owners. I own a short-term rental but was unable to capitalize on the short-term rental loophole because I had used professional property management. Does this strategy provide any advantage to somebody in my situation or allow me to take advantage of the loophole in a different way? How would the tax breakdown work in this case if I created a management C corporation?" - C corp manages property, shifts income, enables reimbursements. "What is the downside of using a 1031 exchange to avoid taxes in a profit transaction? Are there any benefits?" - Strict deadlines, higher debt required, but defers taxes. "What are the medical expenses aside from doctor visits and out-of-pocket medications allowed as reimbursable from the C corp? A doctor has recommended including antioxidant foods in our diet to improve my spouse's diet due to a specific condition. Is it reimbursable if we buy foods that are not really on our regular grocery list? Only because our doctor suggested it. Additionally, the other day, my spouse slipped on one of the floor mats, so I had to buy rug grippers. Is this also reimbursable?" - Doctor's note rule applies, antioxidants questionable, grippers no. "I would like to know if I can start a business as a nonprofit before I begin doing the work. Or do I have to already be up and running?" - Set up a nonprofit entity first for protection.

Why do some defendants want to withdraw their guilty pleas, and what are the most common reasons?This comes up all the time in my legal practice: What can you do if you plead guilty and then change your mind?I'll be sharing what really happens behind the scenes when someone wants to withdraw their guilty plea, especially if the sentence they get isn't what they expected. I'll explain how joint recommendations work here in Ohio, why clear communication between lawyers and clients is absolutely crucial, and what legal hurdles you're likely to face if you try to take back a guilty plea—whether it's before or after sentencing.So if you're curious about the appeals process, struggling with buyer's remorse after a plea deal, or just want to understand how the criminal justice system really works, this episode offers real-life stories, hard-earned insights, and practical advice from inside the courtroom.Key Moments00:00 Clear Client Communication on Plea Deals05:02 Plea Withdrawal Challenges in Ohio07:05 Withdrawing Plea: Start Over Consequences09:44 Rule 11 Plea Negotiations OverviewHere are 3 key takeaways:It's Much Harder After Sentencing: In Ohio, withdrawing a guilty plea after sentencing requires a very strong reason, like major mistakes during the plea process or bad legal advice. Courts generally don't like granting these requests.Timing Is Everything: Before sentencing, withdrawals should be granted more freely, but courts are increasingly strict. If you're reconsidering, don't wait.You Might Be Back to Square One: Withdrawing a plea means the original charges (and risks) are back on the table, and prosecutors may not offer the same deal again.

Let's look at a topic that's been making a lot of headlines lately: the use of the Alien Enemies Act for deportations, especially with talk around Trump's immigration policies. Now, don't worry—I promised to keep things non-political, and I plan to stick to that. Instead, I'm here to walk you through what's really going on behind the scenes: the legal procedures and how these cases play out in court.Recently, federal judges in different parts of the country have been coming to completely opposite conclusions about the government's power to use this act. So, how does that work? What happens when courts disagree this way? I'll break down the basics of appellate law, explain why we're probably headed straight for a Supreme Court decision, and talk about what that means for everyone watching this play out.If you're curious about how the legal system handles big, controversial cases like this—without all the political noise—you're in the right place.

I'm digging into a question I get all the time—should you talk to the police if they reach out and want you to come down to the station? I know this one makes a lot of folks nervous, especially if you're worried that staying quiet might make you look guilty, but you're also hearing that you should never talk to the police without a lawyer.In this episode, I'm sharing a real scenario from a listener (names changed, of course!) whose son was asked to speak with officers about an incident involving a girl he met. I'll break down the reasons why going in to talk to the police—especially if you don't know exactly what they're asking about—can be a risky move. I'll even tell you about a case from my own practice where talking to the cops made things a whole lot harder, even though my client thought he was just clearing things up.So if you've ever wondered what the right move is when the police want to “just ask a few questions,” stick around. I'm here to give you some real talk on what to do—and what not to do—if you're ever in that situation. Let's get into it!Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Traditionally, litigators seeking to understand an individual's or organization's devices - specifically, how they store, access, manage, and delete information - have either asked a deponent to testify from memory or arranged for a costly forensic inspection instead. In this episode, Jim spotlights a fantastic middle ground: requiring a deponent (individual or 30(b)(6) rep) to bring their devices to the deposition and demonstrate their functions and programs or apps during a videotaped examination. This technique was just approved by a federal judge in a pending class action against the ride-sharing company Uber. It's one all litigators should be using. As Jim says in the episode, devices are where information now lives. Lawyers should be more aggressive in their pursuit of discovery related to devices an individual or entity owns and how they access, store, manage, and delete data.SHOW NOTESIN RE: UBER TECHNOLOGIES, INC., PASSENGER SEXUAL ASSAULT LITIGATION, No. 23-MD-03084-CRB (LJC), 2025 WL 1393216 (N.D.

I want to tackle a hot topic that's getting a lot of attention here in Ohio: police qualified immunity. There's been some buzz lately with talk of amending the Ohio constitution to eliminate qualified immunity, and with moves from the Attorney General and even the Ohio Supreme Court nudging this issue closer to the ballot, the debate is really heating up.I break down what qualified immunity actually is, why it matters for police officers, government workers, and regular folks like us, and what could happen if it gets scrapped. Trust me, there are strong arguments on both sides, and it's the kind of issue that could seriously change the legal landscape here in Ohio.I'm not here to take sides today, but I do want to set the stage for a much bigger conversation. I'm planning to bring in some guests soon—lawyers who work on both sides of this debate—so we can really dig deep and talk about what's at stake.So if you've got questions or thoughts about qualified immunity, shoot them my way. I'm looking forward to having this discussion, and I hope you stick around for what's sure to be an interesting ride.

Ever wondered what "en banc review" really means in appellate law? On this episode of Lawyer Talk, I break down this rarely used but powerful legal maneuver in a way that's both clear and practical.Here are 3 key takeaways from the conversation:En Banc Explained: En banc review refers to a request for the entire appellate court—not just the typical three-judge panel—to re-hear a case. This usually happens when a decision may conflict with other rulings, in-state or statewide.When & Why to Request: Lawyers typically seek en banc review when a panel's decision clashes with other appellate outcomes or when a case has significant legal implications that the whole court should weigh in on.Outcomes Can Change: If granted, en banc review can lead to a brand-new decision—sometimes supporting, sometimes overturning, or even fundamentally altering the initial ruling. It's a strategic last resort when the stakes couldn't be higher.If you deal with appeals or just want insight into appellate strategy, this episode is packed with actionable info.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

I hear this question a lot—have Uber and Lyft actually led to fewer drunk driving cases? Drawing on my years of experience as a DUI defense attorney, I share how rideshare apps have shifted the landscape of drinking and driving, especially among 21-year-olds today. I also discuss why, even with the best intentions and easy access to Uber and Lyft, people still find themselves in trouble after a few drinks. I tell some real-life stories from my practice and offer practical advice on how to truly avoid an OVI. So stick around for an honest look at why good decisions can go bad—and what you can do to stay safe.3 Key Takeaways:Technology Doesn't Override Human Nature: Alcohol impairs the very part of the brain that helps us make rational decisions. Even the best-laid plans to use Uber can unravel after a few drinks.Education Matters Most: Younger people, especially those in college, seem more mindful about not drinking and driving—likely thanks to improved education and awareness campaigns, even more so than rideshare availability alone.Beware of “One Last Trip”: Many DUI cases happen after people responsibly get home via Uber, but later decide to drive for food, snacks, or late-night plans—still under the influence.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Eliot Thomas, Esq. is joined by Anderson CPA Barley Bowler. They explain how transfer-on-death titles still provide beneficiaries with stepped-up basis advantages and clarify that short-term rentals don't qualify for real estate professional status. You'll hear proper entity structures for rental properties, recommending against holding appreciating real estate in C corporations. They thoroughly explain the 280A "Augusta Rule" that allows tax-free rental income from personal residences to your business for up to 14 days annually. With input from bookkeeping expert Troy Butler, they recommend QuickBooks Online for tracking rental property finances. Additionally, they cover Roth IRA conversions, tax withholding strategies, and 1031 exchange rules for deferring capital gains.   Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "When a house is under a transfer on death title, does the beneficiary still get a step-up in basis?" - Yes, they still get a stepped-up basis. "If I already qualify as a real estate professional rep status via short-term rentals and add long-term rentals to the mix. Can I lump the two kinds together? And does having an S corporation that manages everything affect my rep status?" - Short-term rentals don't qualify for REP status. S-corps generally don't affect REP status. "Where real estate properties are in individual LLCs, disregarded and owned by my C corporation, does the C corporation maintain one bank account and collect rent for all individual properties?" - Not recommended. Use a management company instead. "If you get started in wholesaling, should you file as an S corporation?" - Yes, use S or C corp. "What kind of bookkeeping is needed for rental real estate? Do you have any bookkeeping software to suggest?" - QuickBooks Online is recommended. Track properties separately. "When doing an IRA to Roth conversion, are there any limits? Are pre-tax conversions always treated as ordinary income? Is it true that the IRS does not know or care when the conversions were done during the year?" - No limits. Yes, ordinary income. IRS treats as earned throughout year. "How does tax work if a business owner is paying himself as an employee, do we have to tax twice? Once for the business income and once as an employee?" - No, payroll is deductible business expense. "How do I do a 1031 exchange? And how do I maximize real estate property depreciation after I do a 1031 exchange? Am I stuck with the previous depreciation rate and amount of the previous property?" - Use a qualified intermediary. Trade up for more depreciation.

Sarah in Ohio reaches out to ask about her nephew, who was recently convicted of attempted murder and felonious assault in what they believe was a clear-cut case of self-defense. After losing their appeal and feeling like the state courts haven't given them a fair shake, Sarah wants to know: can they skip straight to the United States Supreme Court?I break down exactly how the appellate process works and why, no matter how urgent or important your case feels, you can't just jump right to the Supreme Court. I walk you through the legal ladder—from trial, to the Ohio Court of Appeals, to the Ohio Supreme Court, and only then, potentially, to the highest court in the land. Along the way, I explain what kinds of issues the Supreme Court is actually looking for, and why they usually don't take up individual error corrections. If you've ever wondered how—and if—a case can make it all the way to Washington, D.C., this episode will clear things up. So tune in for an inside look at the real process of seeking justice through an appeal!Here are 3 key takeawaysNo Skipping Steps: You can't bypass intermediate appeals and go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court. Every case must follow a specific appellate ladder, starting with a direct appeal, then applying for review by your state's highest court.Supreme Courts Are Selective: Both the Ohio Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court choose which cases they hear, typically focusing on issues with broad constitutional impact—not just error correction in a single case.Timing and Process Matter: If your case is denied review at the state's highest level, you have a limited window (typically 90 days) to petition the U.S. Supreme Court—and even then, getting heard is rare.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Ever wondered if you can sit in on a jury trial?I get asked this question all the time: Can you just walk into a courtroom and watch a jury trial, especially if it's your loved one on trial? Drawing from my experience as a criminal defense attorney, I break down the constitutional rights that guarantee public trials, share some stories from my own time in court, and talk about the rare instances where a courtroom might be closed to the public.Whether you're hoping to support someone you care about, curious about courtroom proceedings, or simply interested in how the justice system works behind the scenes, I'll walk you through what you can expect, what makes public trials so important, and even offer a bit of encouragement if you've never set foot in a courthouse before. I shed some light on the process, the surprises you might encounter, and why everyone—yes, even you—has the right to see justice in action.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

My guest is James Sexton, Esq., a renowned attorney specializing in contracts related to love and money—prenuptial agreements, divorce and custody. We explore the counterintuitive fact that people with prenuptial agreements tend to stay married longer and report more satisfying relationships than those who don't. We discuss how legal contracts can foster deeper understanding by encouraging vulnerability and honest communication about each partner's values and expectations. We also examine what defines true, lasting love versus generic romantic ideals—and how social media can distort our understanding of what we truly need. Additionally, we review how cultural traditions, gender dynamics, courtship length, and age at the time of marriage shape marital outcomes. This episode offers practical tools for anyone—single or partnered—to build more successful and stable relationships through deeply honest dialogue and contracts that reflect genuine values around love and money.
