For high earners, business owners, and investors, taxes are part of the bigger wealth-building strategy. In this episode, Shari Rash talks with CPA and tax strategist Catrina M. Craft about how to stop playing defense with the IRS and start thinking more proactively about tax strategy. Catrina explains why the tax code often creates more opportunities for business owners and investors, why high-earning W-2 employees may feel limited but are not completely out of options, and how Roth accounts, HSAs, real estate, business structure, and proactive planning can all play a role in a smarter tax picture. They also talk about the difference between an accountant, a bookkeeper, a CPA, and a tax strategist, why waiting until March or April is usually too late for meaningful tax planning, and why deductions are not free money. You’ll hear: Why tax filing and tax strategy are not the same thing Why high earners need to stop treating taxes like a once-a-year event What W-2 employees can still consider when they feel stuck How Roth 401(k)s, backdoor Roth strategies, and HSAs may fit into long-term planning Why business owners need to understand entity structure, deductions, documentation, and ordinary and necessary expenses Why spending money just for a tax deduction can backfire How to think about tax planning as part of your larger financial strategy This episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not individualized financial, investment, tax, legal, or accounting advice.
