If you run your business as a proprietorship, partnership, or LLC taxed as a proprietorship or partnership, I’ve got good news for you.

4. Beware of Certain Tax-Free Benefits
Watch out for the Section 127 education plan. The law prohibits Section 127 benefits to your spouse and dependents under the 5% ownership test. And that’s just for starters.
