Big Money, Less Taxes: Smart Ways to Handle One-Time Income

Key Takeaways:

1. Know When Money Comes and Goes
   Good money planning isn’t just about how much you make—it’s about when you make it and spend it. If you time it right, you can lower the taxes you owe.
2. Retirement Plans = Double Win
   Using retirement plans like a SEP or solo 401(k) helps business owners save money for later and pay less in taxes now. It also makes workers happier!
3. Spread Out Big Money Moments
   If you suddenly make a lot of money (like selling a business), you might have to pay a lot in taxes. But you can sometimes stretch the income over a few years to avoid one giant tax hit.
4. Help With Health = Save on Taxes
   Using tools like HSAs and FSAs lets employees pay for health stuff tax-free—and it gives the business some tax savings too. It’s a win-win!
5. Tax Laws Change—Stay Sharp!
   The government changes tax rules often. Knowing what’s new helps you make smarter money moves and avoid surprises.
