The year is wrapping up, and with it comes a golden opportunity to save money. If you’re a parent entrepreneur, you’re likely juggling a million things right now—running your business, prepping for the holidays, and keeping the kids entertained. But here’s a reality check: this is your last chance to take advantage of end-of-year tax tips for parent entrepreneurs that could save you thousands of dollars.
Why Parent Entrepreneurs Should Focus on Taxes Now
Once December 31 rolls around, your window to optimize your 2024 tax savings begins to close. This means you’re leaving money on the table that could have gone back into your family’s pockets or your business. The good news? With the right strategies, you can keep more of what you’ve worked so hard to earn.
Top Tax-Saving Strategies for Parent Entrepreneurs
Let’s break it down into some practical, easy-to-implement tips to save big before the year ends:
1. Hire Your Kids
This isn’t just smart parenting; it’s a brilliant tax hack. As a parent entrepreneur, you can hire your kids to help with age-appropriate tasks in your business and pay them up to $13,850 tax-free. Not only does this reduce your taxable income, but it also teaches your kids valuable work skills and sets them up for financial success. There are nuances to this and it has to be done properly so you don’t get in trouble with the IRS, but I’ve got you covered there >>
2. Maximize Your Deductions
Think you’ve claimed every deduction? Think again! Parent entrepreneurs can write off expenses like home office costs, business travel, software subscriptions, and even part of your utilities. These deductions can significantly lower your taxable income, so make sure you’re not missing out.
3. Set Up Retirement Savings for Your Kids
By hiring your kids, you’re also opening the door to start their retirement savings early. A Roth IRA funded with their earnings can grow tax-free for decades, giving them a huge head start. Imagine your kids heading into adulthood with a nest egg already in place! Not sure what type of retirement account to set up or how? I explain it all in my course Retire the Kids.
Take Action Before It’s Too Late
Don’t let the holiday chaos distract you from making smart financial moves. Every dollar you save on taxes is a dollar you can reinvest in your business or use to create lasting wealth for your family.
Here’s what you should do next:
- Review your financials and pinpoint any missed opportunities.
- Reach out for expert help (yes, that’s me!) to create a personalized tax strategy.
- Take action now so you can enjoy the holidays stress-free, knowing you’ve set your family and business up for success.
