Intro

Are you making smart tax and legal decisions, or leaving money on the table without realizing it? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler tackles your toughest questions and breaks down real-world tax strategies, asset protection myths, and retirement planning mistakes that business owners and investors face every day.

From selling million-dollar collectibles and avoiding unnecessary taxes, to understanding how S Corporations can impact Social Security benefits later in life, Mark tackles listener questions with practical, no-nonsense advice. You’ll learn why LLCs don’t magically reduce taxes, how charitable remainder trusts really work, and when trusts actually make sense — and when they’re a complete waste of money.

You’ll learn:

• Why setting up an LLC or corporation won’t help you avoid capital gains taxes when selling high-value collectibles
• When trusts actually make sense for asset protection—and when they’re an expensive mistake
• Why Social Security has diminishing returns for high earners and how S Corporations change the math
