3 Essential Mid-Year Tax Strategies for Savvy Entrepreneurs

1. Optimize Your Depreciation Schedule

Have you recently acquired new equipment, vehicles, or software? Examine options like Section 179 and bonus depreciation to maximize deductions before the year's end.

  • Implement these strategies pre-purchase for optimal benefit.

  • Pay attention: the bonus phaseout is underway.

Don't wait until December to consult with your accountant—engage now to fully leverage potential write-offs.

2. Maximize Personal Retirement Contributions

Mid-year is the perfect time to review solo 401(k)s, SEP IRAs, or consider a defined benefit plan.

  • Set up plans now to boost tax-deferred savings.

  • Lower your taxable income while securing long-term wealth.

  • Adjust estimated taxes with clearer income projections.

Though it appears complex, a defined benefit plan offers robust deduction potential for the right business model.

3. Manage Income and Expenses Proactively

While revenue may not be fully under your control, the timing of income recognition and expenditures can be.

  • Postpone or expedite billing cycles.

  • Consider prepayments.

  • Plan asset acquisitions before bonus depreciation limits change.

  • Utilize healthy cash flow to support deductible activities.
