Are you missing out on some of the most powerful year-end tax strategies available to small business owners and entrepreneurs? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down 20 actionable moves you can still make before December 31 to save thousands on taxes and set yourself up for long-term financial success. From retroactive S-corp elections to HSAs, Solo 401(k)s, and smart income timing, this episode is your complete year-end playbook.

Unlike generic tax tips you’ll find online, these strategies are tailored for real entrepreneurs — whether you’re running an LLC, managing rentals, or building your side hustle. Mark and Mat explain how to pay your kids the right way, leverage 100% bonus depreciation on vehicles and equipment, and take advantage of HRAs, Roth conversions, self-rental rules, and tax-loss harvesting before the clock runs out. They also share which moves are still possible after year-end and which deadlines you can’t afford to miss.

Whether you’re just getting started or already running a profitable business, this episode will help you keep more of what you earn and make smarter tax decisions for 2025. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to finish the year strong — and start the next one with a strategy that builds wealth, not stress.
