Illustrative Tax Effect
An educational scenario that applies an assumed marginal rate to modeled taxable rental income or loss. It is not a determination of liability, eligibility, or whether a loss is currently usable.

Why Illustrative Tax Effect matters
Tax treatment can materially affect an investor's outcome, but it depends on the taxpayer, ownership, property use, basis, activity rules, and jurisdiction. TrueCap does not currently expose a tax-specific analysis module; use a qualified professional and taxpayer-specific model.
How to check Illustrative Tax Effect before you rely on it
Treat the figure as a placeholder until a tax professional has your facts. Confirm the marginal rate that applies to you, whether the rental loss is currently usable under passive-activity rules, and how the building-value allocation was set. Then compare the scenario against a case with no tax effect at all; if the deal only works with the tax line, it does not work yet.
