"45 year old business owner was referred in last week. Just sold his business. Owes $900k in taxes this April. Hurts. There are many things a business owner can do to eliminate a portion of their taxes owed to the IRS but it's all about getting ahead. You must plan for your sale years before you even receive an offer to make the most out of your sale proceeds. Don't believe me Ask any of your entrepreneurial friends.

"Owning a business with your spouse can be great but there are a few tax disadvantages that come along with it. When you earn a profit as a business owner you have self-employment or "payroll tax" regardless of whether you lower that profit through retirement contributions etc. Because of this your profits are taxed at 15.3% per spouse. And that's a big distinction to make. Let's run through it"

"FSAs are built with pre-tax money meaning you can avoid paying income tax on the funds. They have a "use it or lose it" provision which means you must empty the account before the end of the year. Sometimes you can receive a grace period of a few extra months but it's not worth testing it out. Max this year is $3400 per employee (not household)"

"HSAs are "triple tax advantaged". Money goes in pre-tax grows tax-deferred and comes out tax-free. As long as spent on a qualified medical purchase. The reason I mentioned HSAs are better for long term expenses are: - You can invest the funds - There's no time limit during your life - Once you turn [--] you can withdraw money without penalty* HSAs can be a great "next account" when you've maxed out your retirement account and want to lower your taxable income even further. Sometimes employers will even match the HSA similar to a 401(k) like the electrical company I'm speaking at today."

"Einstein was correct when he said compound interest was the 8th wonder of the world. But at times we forget it's the gap between what you earn and what you spend that matters the most at first. Compounding on small numbers takes a LONG time to start seeing any growth. Think back to how hard it was to get to your first $100k invested and you'll have a great reason for why"

""Most people don't fail at business because of bad ideas." ."they fail because they spent [--] months building something nobody asked for." In the age of "create anything you want on Claude or ChatGPT" what stays the same is humans. Humans have needs. Businesses create solutions for those needs. The human departs with their dollar to meet their needs. I like to think that apart from small businesses being inherently brutal to succeed in the first place if more entrepreneurs focused on the needs aspect theyd have a better shot. Before you launch the next Microsoft to meet the needs of no one."

""My accountant said to set up a SEP IRA." The number of times I've heard this from a business owner around this time of the year is incredible.

And that's not a dig that's because they've got better things to do than tracking @monarch_money (s/o to the best budget app they don't even know me).

"The numbers tell a story for sure. But the don't tell the ending. When the Roman Empire fell it wasn't because of one single thing it was because of several. Same with every ancient civilization that's been similar to America.

"Real estate and rental owners take huge advantage of deductions from their physical properties to lower their tax bill but for most that's where the understanding stops. Let me share two visuals that walk you through "depreciation" and why it can be so powerful for the right person:"

"Depreciation is all about taking "paper losses" from your rental without feeling the impact the same way you would by selling a stock or bond at a loss. The IRS acknowledges that buildings (not land) get worse over time and therefore allow you to take depreciation on them"

"It's not as simple as you get to choose how much you think the property has gone down by. There are fixed schedules and amounts you will be able to reduce on an annual basis dependent on: - Type of property - How much you paid for it - What form of depreciation you're taking"

"In this visual I share an example. As you'll notice the land value must be taken out before finding your "depreciable basis" but at times you can add renovations made to the property"

"Oh great question. I love the most boring ones because they can be repeated over time: - retirement accounts - health savings accounts But for business owners I like to make sure systems are there: - entity election that aligns with revenue - all expenses are accounted for and are timed right - qualified business income deduction is maximized There are so many great options once revenue is flowing"

"Great question. Harvesting capital losses is a solid play in the right scenario but its often just the tip of the iceberg. If you really want to move the needle on the tax hit from a business sale you have to look at heavier hitters like strategic real estate plays gifting techniques and specialized trust structures.

"I thought the same thing. People forget businesses are "for profit" not there to make them happy. They provide us with a good or a service. We want their goods or services so much that we're willing to part with our money for it. Past a certain level we no longer see the value. Their goal is to find where this level is and push it over time through consistency and value. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020533312482058396 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2020533312482058396"
