I admit to being a bit of a tax nerd. I love helping people alleviate their fear of - and frustration with - taxes. I started my firm as a side business with 3 clients while working a day job in a "cubicle farm" in West Des Moines. The "side business" quickly became something much more than that, and by August of 2011, I had left the cubicle behind and took my own business full-time.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the process of growing my business. The decision to be an S-corporation might be a bad thing for the overall tax picture of a small business right now, in light of the qualified business income deduction. Like everything with taxes, "it depends." I am not a huge fan of S-corps, and quite frankly there's nothing wrong with being a sole proprietor.
I usually try to steer clients away from making contributions to a retirement account after the year ends, even if they might get a deduction in that prior year.
