Why Veterinary Owners Turn to Us for Real Estate Income Tax Filing

Owning your clinicʼs building can be one of the best financial moves you ever make! It also adds a layer of complexity.

This service exists to make that part simple, accurate, and strategic.

1. Entity structure matters

Under current laws, 98% of real estate ownership is reported on Schedule E of an individual return or in stand alone Partnership Form 1065.  We are experts in both of these Federal forms, along with all the state income tax equivalents.

2. Real estate ownership changes your tax picture

The type of lease your practice and real estate entity enter into drives the amount of rents, along with who takes responsibility for agreed upon operating expenses, repairs, and capital improvements. Getting those numbers right ensures your tax position reflects the full benefit of ownership, for both entities.

3. Depreciation can be a quiet advantage or a missed one

Your building and itʼs components all create potential deductions. We track those details so you do not lose out on valuable depreciation or cost recovery opportunities.

4. You deserve clarity and confidence

Most owners just want to know it is being done right. We give you clear explanations, organized documentation, and dependable filing without unnecessary meetings or jargon.

5. There is room to plan ahead

For owners ready to think beyond the current year, our Advisory and Strategic plans include proactive planning sessions and estimated tax guidance. This helps you anticipate your cash flow and tax exposure before April arrives.

Your building is a long-term investment.

Our goal is to make sure the tax side of that investment supports your success, not complicates it.

Explore the plans that align your property ownership with your overall tax strategy

Our Basic plan covers reliable filings, Advisory adds strategic insight, and Strategic offers full-service guidance for complex ownership structures.

Testimonials

"We hired PracticeDen prior to completion of our practice sale. It was great to be able to start out on the right foot and ask questions prior to day 1. He was able to handle both our personal and business taxes and answered endless questions we had as first-time practice owners. Going into this without ownership experience has been scary, but we always know who to ask questions to... Accounting is one of our bigger expenses, but we know we are doing things correctly and it takes a big mountain of worry off our shoulders knowing it is prioritized. Worth every penny!"

"My business partner and I hired PracticeDen in 2014 following the retirement of our accountant at the time. Dean was not only knowledgeable about the needs of our business, but also the best communicator. We received timely and accurate reports including valuable information on key performance indicators. My partner and I were so impressed with Dean that when the time came to sell our practice, we hired him to mediate offers from prospective buyers. Now that I am retired, Dean and his team continue to take care of my personal tax needs even though I live in a different state."

"We needed a new bookkeeper and accountant and PracticeDen provided both services which made things flow. It has made our lives much easier. I like that we can contact our bookkeeper anytime during regular working hours and get a reply quite promptly. I am glad we found PracticeDen since they are familiar with the veterinary field and they are professional and competent, which alleviates my concerns and allows me to spend more time with my patients."
