In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler shares the blueprint for tax-efficient business ownership. He explains why smart bookkeeping is key, how to leverage deductions, and when to transition from an LLC to an S corp for optimal tax savings. If you’re tired of overpaying the IRS, this episode is a must-listen!

Here are some of the highlights:

  • Mark explains what you take out of your business is not what you are taxed on, using a scenario where a business owner makes $60,000 but is only taxed on $50,000 due to write-offs.
  • The evolution of a small business from a sole proprietorship to an LLC, and then to an S corporation once the business starts making significant income.
  • Mark discusses the concept of having two sets of books: one for tracking income and expenses through the business account, and another for adding other expenses that may not have gone through the main account.
  • The concept of phantom income, where business owners reinvest money back into the business and are still taxed on that amount.
  • Strategies for minimizing phantom income, such as taking a portion of the reinvested money and depositing it with the IRS to cover expected taxes.
  • How most small businesses should avoid the C corporation structure and stick with pass-through entities like LLCs or S corporations.
  • The importance of tracking every expense related to the business, as these expenses can be significant tax write-offs.
  • Mark advises business owners to involve family members in the business to take advantage of write-offs for supporting family financially.
