We celebrate our 100th episode by giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at our podcast journey, from inception to production challenges to our biggest wins.

• Started the podcast in January 2023 to help people we couldn't take on as clients
• Purchased a podcast course for $150 which provided crucial guidance on equipment, hosting, and editing
• Recording during tax season was challenging but strategic, as downloads are highest in the first half of the year
• Initially scripted episodes but became more comfortable with time, though still prepare notes for specific tax regulations
• Hired an editor (Kevin) which made continuing the podcast possible
• Our top three episodes: QuickBooks, paying kids from your business, and common startup mistakes
• Biggest wins include the personal finance series and S Corp series, which have helped listeners save thousands in taxes
• Moving to a bi-weekly schedule to make production more manageable
• Planning a second, more personal podcast focused on family life

Thanks for helping us reach 100 episodes! We'll continue providing tax and accounting wisdom every other week, focusing on the latest tax code changes and business strategies to help you save money.

The Augusta Rule offers a legal way to transfer money from your business to yourself tax-free by renting your home to your business for up to 14 days per year. This often-overlooked tax strategy allows business owners to deduct the rental expense from their business while receiving tax-free personal income.

• Rent your personal residence to your business for up to 14 days annually without paying personal tax on that income
• Your business can deduct the rental payment as a legitimate business expense
• Determine fair market rent by researching comparable event spaces in your area
• Create and maintain a formal rental agreement between yourself and your business
• Document each use with invoices and calendar entries
• Pay yourself from your business account using traceable methods (transfers, checks, digital payments)
• Monthly strategy sessions are ideal for implementing this strategy while staying under the 14-day limit
• Take photos and keep notes from meetings as supporting documentation
• Rental payments of approximately $1,000 per day are typical, depending on your location

Paying your children through your business is a legitimate and powerful tax strategy that can save you thousands every year!

• Reduce taxes by converting business income into deductible expenses with zero tax impact
• Children earning under $15,000 (2025 standard deduction) pay no income tax and don't need to file returns
• Sole proprietors (Schedule C) and farms (Schedule F) don't pay payroll taxes on wages to children
• S-corporations must pay payroll taxes, but strategy remains beneficial for 22%+ tax brackets
