Don’t make this fatal tax-deduction error

August 1, 2013

Tax deductions are great. But you have to make sure they’re legal.

In my new article, I’ll tell you about Dr. Elick who wanted to create fat deductions but made a devastating error that cost him dearly.

You see, he created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) to maximize his deductions, and also created a management services corporation to provide services to his existing corporation.

Unfortunately, his terrible blunder hurt him big time.

Want to avoid making the error that cost him a bundle? Read my new article titled Tax Tips: Fatal Error Makes Management Service Firm Fail as a Tax Strategy.

Three ways our fact-filled article can help you:

  1. We’ll explain Dr. Elick’s creative tax-deduction plan. Elick consulted a retirement plan professional who helped him establish an ESOP. Then a management services company was created. We’ll explain the complex arrangements that got Dr. Elick into the soup when you read the full article.
  2. You’ll learn exactly what went wrong with the plan. The court ruled that the $733,000 in fees paid to Dr. Elick’s management services company were not deductible by his corporation. And that’s just for starters. You’ll get the whole sad story when you read the full article.
  3. We’ll show you how to stay out of trouble. It’s worth reading my new article for this information alone. You’ll get top-flight advice (as always) when you read the full article.
