For self-employed people earning roughly $50k+ in net profit, an S-Corp election can save $5,000–$20,000/year in self-employment tax by splitting income between salary (subject to payroll tax) and distributions (not subject to SE tax). A small business CPA will model the exact savings for your income level, factoring in payroll filing costs.
The Qualified Business Income (Section 199A) deduction allows eligible pass-through businesses — sole props, partnerships, S-Corps — to deduct up to 20% of qualified business income from taxable income. The rules are complex, especially for service businesses above income thresholds. A CPA who knows the QBI rules can structure your business to maximise the deduction.
Most small business owners benefit from quarterly check-ins: a Q1 review after filing, a mid-year strategy session in June, year-end planning in October/November, and filing. The October/November meeting is the most valuable — it's the last window to make moves that affect your tax bill before December 31.
