Tax Planning, Not Tax Guessing: A Case-Law-Based Guide to Smarter Business Structure and Real Savings

Tax Planning, Not Tax Guessing isn’t your typical tax book. Most tax guides fall into one of two camps: Dense tomes written for other accountants – not business owners. Shallow, fluffy listicles that toss around terms like “write-off” with no technical accuracy or legal grounding. This book is neither. It’s readable without watering down the substance. The strategies here are grounded in IRS guidance, court cases, and statutes – not myths or recycled blog posts – and backed with citations you can point to if challenged. And unlike much technical tax writing, it’s not just a litany of what you can’t do. It’s a playbook of what you can do – actionable, structural strategies that save you real money. You’ll learn how to make defensible, high-impact changes to your business structure, compensation, and planning so your tax savings aren’t a one-time trick, but a lasting advantage. Clear, practical, and battle-tested – this is tax planning you can actually use.
