Ask HN: Best Ways to Save on Taxes?
3 points by silexia 18 days ago | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments
I am a business owner so I have a number of ways to expense things and reduce my taxes already. I am looking for methods I have not heard of to reduce my taxes further. Some ideas I have heard of:

-Keep your salary low if you own the business. Bezos paid himself $80k a year. -Expense personal stuff that touches on business. -Max out your retirement accounts -Hire your kids to do legitimate work, zero tax on the first $14k. -Living and working in a state with zero income tax if you can work remotely saves a huge amount of money

What other ideas do you have to save on taxes?



Hire a great accountant that is versed in not only your state laws but also your particular business type. Their advice should save you much more than they cost you.


RE "....Hire your kids to do legitimate work, zero tax on the first $14k....."

What is the benefit of that? That is unless you control / influence the spending of the child's earned income which would make claiming a tax deduction not legal ....


I want my money going to my kids anyways.
