Understanding W-2 and 1099 Tax Strategies

Many individuals with W-2 income seek ways to save on taxes while feeling overwhelmed by their financial strategies. A common misconception is that simply maxing out a 401(k) is sufficient for tax savings. However, alternative retirement options, such as 403(b) and 457(b) plans, can double employee contribution limits, offering more significant tax breaks. Additionally, for those with 1099 income, forming an S-Corp can allow for further tax advantages by separating W-2 salaries from distributions, ultimately reducing self-employment taxes.
