Single member LLC. Several property flips for year 2022. Short term capital gains of around $85,000.00. Need creative recommendations to reduce my tax liability for year 2022. I have a high W2 income so tax bracket is on the higher end. I have expenses that can be deducted for repairs/upgrades to properties but not enough. Any ideas? I have read about depreciating the purchase of a company vehicle but not clear on specific details it would be a truck not a corvette. 1031 was not an option due to the nature of the rapid real estate transactions. I would prefer to do something that I can use or benefit from now and not if I make it to 65 years of age.

You initially need to determine whether or not you would be considered a real estate dealer as opposed to an investor in real estate.
If the properties were being purchased and repaired/improved, primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, then the gain is not capital gain but ordinary (earned) income and subject to self-employment tax. The profit would be reported on Schedule C of your individual income tax return.

Section 1031 would not be an option if you are considered to be a real estate dealer with respect to any properties since that section does not apply to inventory.
