Tax Planning in Business
On this week's episode: owners focus on their personal return and never ask what could be done inside the business itself.
Four things we constantly see missed:
1. Your spouse already approves every big decision you make. They can be on the company 401(k) too — one business, two maxed-out retirements.
2. Twenty percent of your income, deductible, without spending a dollar. Most owners get a fraction of it and never find out why.
3. A swimming pool that was 100% deductible and the home office rule that made it hold up.
4. 76 cents a mile for driving you already do. Many people leave it on the table because they don't want an app on their phone.
