Key tax strategies for business owners:

1️⃣ Choose the right business structure – S corporations can save thousands in self-employment taxes for those netting over $100,000. Optimize your balance of wages and distributions.

2️⃣ Leverage Section 179 – Deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment purchases in the year you buy them, reducing taxable income and freeing up cash flow.

3️⃣ Track expenses better – Organized bookkeeping ensures you capture every deduction, from travel to office supplies. Start now to avoid rushing and missing potential write-offs.

4️⃣ Defer income – Delay issuing invoices so payment hits in January. This reduces taxable income for 2024, especially useful if you expect to stay in the same or lower tax bracket next year.
