Why This Book?
3 Reasons Why I Wrote This Book
- I have listened to literally thousands of small business owners over the last forty years. A vast majority of them are happy to pay their fair share of tax to support the country that we love. But every April 15th, it just does not seem fair. In Texas, we say the fair comes in October. But this book is about fair. I would never recommend a tax deduction or a tax strategy that is anything other than fair.
I have 3 kids of my own. Stevie, Ryan, and Kelsey. They have served as my inspiration in so many things, perhaps the least of which is the idea behind this book. I have hired each of them, deducted each of them, and saved thousands of tax dollars because of each of them. But mostly, I have just loved them. This is not theory for me. This is what I have done with my own family
My goal for this book was simple. I wanted to show every sole proprietor with a child at home how to save over 5,000 in taxes by doing exactly what the IRS expects you to do. Create a job. Pay a reasonable wage. File the paperwork. Keep more of your money. The tax savings are waiting but you have to do it.

AUTHOR PHILOSOPHY
My Approach to Tax Strategy
The first key point to tax planning is to always make sure you have included all income on your tax return. Do not intentionally exclude any money from the top line of your tax return, because a bunch of bad things can happen from there. Do not be creative or aggressive when it comes to income. Include everything. Always.
Key point number two for basic tax planning is this. Now that everything is on the tax return, be extremely creative, extremely aggressive, and extremely proactive in getting the money back off the tax return. That means deductions and exemptions and credits. Make sure that you take all of the possible deductions applicable to your business.
The best tax planning ideas are those that can take money you are already spending and convert it from non deductible personal expenses into fully deductible business expenses. That is exactly what this book teaches you to do. No shortcuts. No gray areas. Just solid, proven strategy.
