Ron Caruthers – Slash Your Taxes
Description of Slash Your Taxes
The Ultimate Guide to Paying Less Taxes on Your Business, Freelance Gig or Side Hustle
If you ask normal people on the street what the best ways to save taxes are, you’ll usually get one of two answers: Your home, or your 401k.
BUT, if you ask any TRUE tax professional that same question, you’ll get the same answer every single time: Owning a business, no matter how big or small.
Why? Because almost all of the tax laws were written for the self-employed individual. Every big business (like Apple, Facebook, or Google) was once a small business that got started in somebody’s dorm, garage or at their kitchen table.
However, most business owners leave THOUSANDS of dollars of savings on the table each years because they do NOT take the time to understand what the rules are….and their accountant is too busy to explain all of the available deductions to them.
Or even a few of them, for that matter……
The tax code is over 77,000 pages long (!!!), but only about 30 of them explain the taxes that you need to pay.
The rest of the 76,970 pages show you all the exceptions to the rules, and how to lower your taxes,
….but most CPA’s focus their time on the 30 pages that say what you have to pay, and NOT on how to save money.
If you have your own business, you need my new course.
This course will show you EXACTLY how to legally maximize every single deduction you are entitled to, so that YOU get to keep more of YOUR money.
Here’s how it works:
Over the course of 8 to 10 weeks, I’ll walk you through every aspect of the tax code that applies to you, and show you EXACTLY how to use it to your advantage, in plain English so you completely understand it, and can implement what applies in your own business to save thousands of dollars at tax time next year.
