In the realm of personal finance, one powerful strategy for maximizing tax savings is often overlooked by many individuals — owning your own corporation. As an employee working for someone else, there are limitations to the extent one can go to optimize tax benefits. However, stepping into the role of a business owner opens up a whole new world of possibilities, potentially saving thousands of dollars in strict compliance with the IRS code.
