Owning and operating a SMB is the best tax deal in America.
—
Whether you have a $10,000 side hustle or $10MM enterprise, earning business income opens up amazing opportunities for tax savings and wealth creation.
Let’s walk through how it works
(thread below ⬇️)
Expenses -
Business income opens up an opportunity that W-2 employees do not enjoy - bonafide business expenses.
Of course direct costs incurred are deductible, but many expenses exist in your life already. When you have business income you get to spend them before tax.
Most employees are running a no deductible office at home - now claim business phone bills, home office utilities, dues, travel, education and legal that you spend regardless.
The other deduction opportunity is business use of your personal assets including auto and home use.
Employment taxes -
Another great saving is employment taxes through and S-Corp and set salary.
Taxpayers are given the ability to bifurcate their employment from their ownership and pay a reasonable salary, often times saving thousands in employment taxes.
Benefits -
Also in a SMB the owner has ability to provide benefits including medical and retirement, particularly the business is a solo enterprise.
Medical reimbursement plans, SEPs, 401ks, DB Pensions offer potentially hundreds of thousands in tax savings & deferrals.
