This is what $250K looks like with no tax plan.

At this income the math stops being simple. Social Security caps out, Medicare adds a surtax on top, and you’re sitting in the 32% bracket.

There are plenty of legal ways to reduce what you owe if you use them correctly.

Here are a few we use with our 200+ clients, who we’ve saved over $10M in tax savings.

💰 Solo 401(k)
📉 QBI deduction
🏢 S-corp election
🏡 Augusta Rule
🧾 Accountable plan
📋 Normal Business Deductions

Which ones apply depends on how your business is structured. Comment HELP and we’ll look at your actual numbers.

No todas las LLC hacen el mismo trabajo. Unas guardan tus bienes y otras manejan el día a día del negocio.

Otras existen solo para bajar lo que pagas en “self-employment tax”. Si escoges la estructura equivocada, puedes terminar pagándole de más al IRS o dejando tus bienes personales sin protección. A veces las dos cosas.

La mayoría de los dueños abren su LLC una vez, nunca la vuelven a tocar, y el negocio crece más allá de esa estructura sin que se den cuenta. Ahí es cuando empieza a costar dinero de verdad.

Si tu negocio está dejando más o menos $50K de ganancia, solo con la elección de S corp puede cambiar lo que debes este año.

Guarda este post para cuando estés listo para estructurar (o reestructurar) tu negocio.

Last week I was on with , President of , talking about our 2026-2027 Mentorship Program.

Applications close next Thursday, September 10.

The program runs September through May, pairing Latina college students with professionals and community leaders for guidance, scholarship opportunities, and connection that turns into opportunity.

I'm the Treasurer, and I'll say this plainly: I didn't have a mentor when I was starting out, and it cost me.

Wealth tip: Before you upgrade your lifestyle, first upgrade where your money is going!

When you own the business, you’re the employee AND the employer.

That means you get to contribute to your retirement as both, which is why a solo 401(k) goes so far past what a regular IRA allows. One of my clients put in $35,000 and took about $11,000 off her tax bill.

Wealth Moves 💸 is a new content series. Comment “PART 6” if you want me to share more tips to help you build wealth like the rich.

Yesterday was a great reminder of the power of community and connection.

I loved attending the HPWA Tampa Friendraiser and was proud to have Athena CPAs & Advisors support the event as a sponsor.

I’m especially excited about HPWA’s mentorship program, which helps people build confidence, expand their networks, and navigate their careers.

Thank you to everyone who made the evening a success. If you’re interested in mentoring, finding a mentor, or supporting the program, we’d love to have you involved.

Not all LLCs are created equal 👀

Some hold assets and some run your day-to-day operations.

Some exist purely to cut your self-employment tax bill. If you pick the wrong structure, you can end up overpaying the IRS or leaving your personal assets exposed, sometimes even both.

Most owners file an LLC once, never touch it again, and outgrow it without realizing. That’s when it starts costing real money.

If your business is clearing around $50K in profit, the S corp election alone can change what you owe this year.

SAVE this post so you have it when you’re ready to structure (or restructure) your business!

Did you know most S-corp owners paying for their own health insurance aren’t getting the write-off?

I had a client paying $18,000 a year for his family’s coverage. His business was writing the checks but he wasn’t getting a dime of it back.

For an S-corp owner, having the business pay the premium isn’t enough. It has to run through payroll and count as part of your pay for the year. His never did, and nobody caught it.

Make sure to ask whoever runs your payroll this question: “are my premiums being added to my pay?”

If the answer is no, that’s a problem.

Most of my clients have hosted something at their house whether it was a quarterly planning day or a team dinner and almost none of them knew their business could have paid them for it, tax-free.

It’s called the Augusta Rule. It’s in the tax code and it’s been there since 1976!

Wealth Moves 💸 is a new content series that’s different than what I’ve shared before. Comment “PART 5” if you want me to share what’s saved my clients the most money on their taxes in the next part.
