Chapter 1: What is the $100K tax write-off the IRS doesn't want you to know?
when the irs hired all those agents last year i think it was 67 000 did that impact your business a lot no it has not impacted my business what it did do is it made sure that a lot of people started focusing on bookkeeping and accounting and for many business owners who are doing their own bookkeeping and accounting they don't know how to categorize their own expenses yeah i remember my first year dropshipping getting that tax bill from shopify i'm like what's this you know what i mean why do i have to write such a big check yeah and that's the worst part about her bro
All right, guys, Carlton Dennis here today, someone I've been trying to have on for a while. Thanks for what you do, man. Thanks for coming on. Absolutely, man. You help people save money.
Chapter 2: How do IRS hiring changes impact businesses?
I help them keep money. Keep money.
Yeah. And that's a powerful skill to have. Yeah. You know, not a lot of people have that capability. So I think that's why you're crushing it.
I think there's just an absence of tax professionals trying to teach people how to leverage the tax code versus tax professionals that just file tax returns. Right. So I'm all about keeping money.
Yeah, because I used to have an old accountant and he knew none of these hacks. I remember when PPP came out, ERC, he didn't even know how to file these things.
Chapter 3: What are the benefits of writing off luxury vehicles?
And that's exactly how I blew up. Right when ERC and PPP loans came out, I got on YouTube and I shared with people how to get the PPP loan, how to get the EIDL loan, and how to set up LLCs. And that's how our brand grew so fast. There just wasn't any tax professionals teaching people how to do that.
Right. I feel like the older guys, they learn what they do like 40 years ago and they just don't learn anything new.
Chapter 4: How can business owners leverage family foundations?
Yeah. And it's OK to just file tax returns. But in today's day and age, there's just so much information out there. So if you're trying to help somebody save money in taxes, you got to go study. You got to go learn all the tricks of the code and be able to deliver it in a way that somebody actually understands it.
Chapter 5: What are the implications of Kamala Harris's tax proposal?
Right. And there's new codes coming out all the time, right? Yeah, absolutely. Every year. Wow. Every year. So they change that frequently.
Absolutely. Congress can approve something and it goes into effect within the year.
Got it. So do you have your eye on any new codes coming out next year or later this year?
One of the things that we're monitoring right now is whether or not bonus depreciation will go back to 100%. So you've been seeing all these people buying cars that weigh over 6,000 pounds, G-wagons. Lamborghini Urus is, well, you're only able to write off 60% of the purchase price right now.
But if we can get Congress to approve this bipartisan deal that's sitting in office right now, we are going to get 100% bonus depreciation back. So if you spend 100K on that F-150, you can write off the full 100K, even though you may have only financed it and put $2,000 or $5,000 down. Wow.
Keep me posted on that one. Absolutely. Yeah, I bought a G-Wagon last year. Was it 80 last year or 60%? It was 80 last year. Okay, yeah. I did it last year, December 29th.

Chapter 6: How should entrepreneurs approach tax planning?
See, and that's when business owners need to save money the most is right at the end of the year. So you just... What can I throw money at? A vehicle deduction helps you out so much. Bro, the dealership was packed. He said they sold 10 G-Wagons that week. It makes sense. Even Mercedes on their website will put G-Wagon is over 6,000 pounds. They know who they're selling to.
Yeah, they know. I didn't know Uruses were over 6,000.
Yeah, the gross weight vehicle ratio is over 6,000 pounds for a Lamborghini Urus.
Cause when I looked it up, I thought it was under, but maybe I was looking at something different.
Yeah. And you have to check out the model too. I think the new performante euros is also over 6,000 pounds.

Chapter 7: What strategies can help minimize tax burdens?
Got it.
And is there a weight limit for jets? Um, jets automatically qualify to be automatic. Yeah. And the cool thing about jets is they're on a lag depreciation schedule. So right now you're able to write off a vehicle 60% bonus depreciation, but a jet, you could still write off a jet at 80% bonus depreciation this year. So it's on a little bit of a lag depreciation schedule as opposed to vehicles.
Got it. Yeah.
I saw Grant Cardone do that and meet Kevin. Yeah. They both bought jets.
And more and more entrepreneurs now are buying jets because it's a way for them to get around. It's a great tax write-off. And for many of them, they need to get around without going into a commercial airport. So I like the idea of buying jets if you can afford it.

Chapter 8: How can employing your children benefit your taxes?
So when the IRS hired all those agents last year, I think it was 67,000, did that impact your business a lot?
No, it has not impacted my business. What it did do is it made sure that a lot of people started focusing on bookkeeping and accounting because at the end of the day, the IRS wants to figure out whether or not your expenses were justified. And for many business owners who are doing their own bookkeeping and accounting, They don't know how to categorize their own expenses.
So I've seen bookkeeping as a service heightened when the IRS announced that they were going to be hiring those 80,000 number of employees. Right.
To be fair for the business owners, they're not taught any of this.
No, not at all. I mean, I didn't learn tax when I was in school or accounting. Not at all.
Yeah, I remember my first year of dropshipping getting that tax bill from Shopify. I'm like, what's this?
And you're like, why do I have to write such a big check?
And that's the worst part about it. That first one hurt, bro. Because you spend all that money if you don't know better. So you assume you make $100K, you just keep it all.
And that's the part that I try to teach people about entrepreneurship is when you go into business, you make money first, you spend money second, you give money to the IRS third. Different than when you're a W-2 employee where you make money first, then the IRS takes the money second, and then you're left over with whatever else is left over to spend.
