Most owner-operators don’t realize this… your business structure could be costing you thousands.

If you’re a sole proprietor, you’re paying 15.3% self-employment tax on all profits.

Switching to an LLC taxed as an S corp lets you split income into:
• Salary (taxed)
• Profit (not hit with self-employment tax)

Done right, this can significantly reduce your tax bill.

But it only works with proper setup and a reasonable salary. Do it wrong, and it can backfire.

Bottom line: Your structure determines how much you keep.
