This book is designed to help you-the small business owner-learn how to reduce your income taxes by paying yourself instead of paying Uncle Sam. Any time you can find a strategy that decreases the amount of income tax you pay, you have paid yourself instead of paying tax to Uncle Sam. Everybody knows it takes money to make money. The purpose of this book is to teach you how to keep as much of that money as possible. Research shows that 97% of small business owners overpay their taxes. That's because most small business owners don't have fancy tax attorneys to instruct them on how to organize their affairs so that they pay the least amount of tax.
