Modified: How to save money as a S-corp!

Remember  10 Schedule C Tax Strategies: Welp, this is how to do it if you have a S-Corp.   

This article is short and sweet, but to the point

In our previous article 10 Schedule C Tax Strategies . We discussed  possible tax credits for schedule C filers. What if you have an S-corp? The profits and losses are still filtered through your personal taxes, but in a different form. (Yes I know The IRS loves its forms!) 

These are some tax strategies you can still implement to save you money for 2021.

Here are some strategies for S corporations you can implement today: 

  • Reduce the S corporation owner’s wages. 
  • Deduct the S corporation owner’s health insurance premiums. 
  • Employ your child to lower your taxable income. 

  • Sell your home to the corporation before converting it to a rental property.  (This one may not help you personally as you will lose your homestead exemption, but the saving may be greater this this way)
  • Establish an office in your home and reimburse yourself from the corporation for the expenses. 
  • Rent your home to the S corporation for 14 days or less and deduct the rent expense.
  • Have the S corporation reimburse the owner for depreciation expenses related to business use of a vehicle and home office. 
  • Combine the home office and a heavy SUV, crossover vehicle, or pickup truck to grab big deductions this year. 

  • Reimburse the S corporation owner for travel expenses. 

  • Deduct your smartphone and provide smartphones to your employees as tax-free fringe benefits.
