Max Out Retirement Contributions Now
- Max out retirement accounts like a Solo 401(k) to reduce taxable income this year.
- If your spouse can legitimately be employed, pay them wages so they can also contribute and shelter additional income.

- Avoid short-term spending solely to lower taxes if it hurts long-term profit potential.
- Prioritize investments that both reduce taxes now and increase the chance of repeating or growing high income next year.
Accelerate Business Deductions That Drive Growth
- Pull forward legitimate business expenses that will boost future revenue to reduce taxable income now.
- Spend on hires, equipment, advertising, or coaching if those investments increase the chance of repeating or expanding this year's success.
