In this episode, you’ll hear a real case study of how one doctor saved $117,000 in 2024 simply by optimizing how his taxes were handled. By digging into prior tax returns, we uncovered $300,000 in unused business losses and showed him how to structure income so those losses actually work in his favor. We also corrected an entity setup that alone saved nearly $40,000. These simple but powerful tax strategies added up to over $160,000 in savings. This story highlights why tax planning—not just tax preparation—is critical for business owners. If your CPA only files your return, you may be leaving six figures on the table.

In this episode, I share a real-life tax planning case study where a simple structural fix saved a client $12,500 in self-employment taxes. When a doctor came to me frustrated with slow and reactive CPA support, we reviewed his tax setup and discovered a major mistake: his defunct partnership was still being filed as a partnership even though he was the sole owner. That error was costing him unnecessary self-employment taxes and extra admin costs. By correcting the structure and consolidating into an S corporation, he not only cut taxes but also reduced bookkeeping fees, eliminated duplicate filings, and simplified his business finances. If you’ve ever wondered whether old returns are costing you money, this episode shows why a proactive review matters for tax planning and savings strategies.

I share the story of how I saved my dad over $45,000 in one year and how those same strategies have saved clients millions. If you’re tired of giving too much to the IRS and want practical, legal tax reduction strategies, this episode shows you exactly where to start so you can keep more of what you earn.
