10 tax advantages business owners have that regular 9-5ers never see: Because the biggest wealth gap in America isn't between the rich and poor... It's between business owners and everyone else. Quick heads up first: Don’t take candy from strangers, don’t take tax advice from them either. Get a tax professional & then talk to them before doing anything wild. Now, let’s get into it: 1. The "Write-Off Everything" Strategy Your W-2 friends can't deduct their iPhone bills. For you? Everything becomes a write-off. A $5K trip could become $3.5K after tax savings. 2. The $0 Exit Tax Hack (QSBS) Most people pay 20%+ when they sell investments. With QSBS, you pay $0 on up to $10M. The crazy part? Smart planning can multiply this to $20M, $30M, or $40M tax-free. 3. The Solo 401k Secret Regular folks get a tiny 401k. Business owners? You + spouse can each save $69K/year tax-free. This is how the rich retire wealthy. 4. S-Corp Salary Slash Making $100K+? Here's a tax hack that’ll blow your mind: Set up an S-Corp and split your income as salary and distributions to save on SE tax (15.3%!!). 5. The 20% Off Everything Trick (QBI) Imagine if everything your business earned was automatically 20% off... That's exactly what QBI does. At $100K income, you slash off $20K. 6. The Luxury Travel Hack Smart owners never pay for flights. Why? They put every business expense on rewards cards: software, advertising, contractors, office costs. Pro move: Transfer your points to airlines and get 3-5x value 7. State Tax Loophole The IRS caps state tax deductions at $10k. But they "forgot" to mention: Biz owners can deduct ALL state taxes using PTET. So if you live in a state with high taxes (e.g. NY or CA), this single tip could save you more than your car payment. 8. The Family Empire Builder Most parents give allowance. Smart business owners hire their kids and pay $0 tax on their first $13.5K, get a biz write-off, and start their Roth IRA early. 45 years of compound growth = $8M+ by age 60 9. The Six-Figure Tax Shelter If you make serious money ($500K+), pair a Solo 401k with a Cash Balance Plan. The result could be up to $300K tax-deferred annually. This is how doctors & lawyers build multi-million $ retirement accounts. 10. The Million-Dollar Mindset W-2 workers ask: "How can I save $1k?" Biz owners ask: "How can I make $100k?" The biggest tax advantage isn't a strategy. It's realizing the tax code is built to reward builders, not savers. Choose your game. ?? These 10 strategies are just the start. Want the full playbook that business owners use to save millions? I teamed up with Carry to create the ultimate tax guide for 2024. It's free (for now). Save it. Share it.

The one hire I don't need, and none of my portfolio cos need, is a "Strategist" I know at certain stage in many folks' career, that's what they want to do Advise on strategy more than do work themselves No criticism But most startups only need a few hours of this at a time
