The 2026 Business Owner's Tax Playbook
👋 Kit owner? You're in the right place — your upgrade price is $12 (the difference), and everything below marked "already yours" stays yours.

Being your own boss came with a tax job nobody trained you for. This is the training.

Six tools that run your entire tax year — what to deduct, what structure to be, how to pay yourself, and how to never fear a quarterly deadline again. Plain English, this year's real numbers, every figure sourced to the actual IRS documents. $19.99, once.

Why A System Beats Tips

Tax "tips" are trivia. What you need is a system.

Every self-employed person collects tax tips the way you collect browser tabs — a mileage trick here, an S-corp video there, a retirement thread you meant to read. Meanwhile the actual job has four parts, and they interlock:

  1. Deduct everything you're entitled to (and nothing you're not)
  2. Sit in the right structure for your profit level
  3. Pay yourself the right way — the part almost nobody explains
  4. Send the IRS the right amount each quarter — automatically, penalty-proof
Get all four right and they compound: the structure changes the deductions, the deductions change the quarterlies, and doing it in order is worth thousands a year. The Playbook is the four parts, in order, done.
What's Inside

Six pieces. One tax year, handled.

1

The Deduction Playbook

New · ~20 pages

Beyond the checklist: how to actually document the home office, win the mileage-vs-actual choice, pick the right retirement plan at your income (up to $72,000 sheltered), make year-end buy-or-wait calls — and how every deduction changes once you're an S corp.

2
Already yours — not paying twice

The Structure Decision Kit

The complete $7.99 product, included

The guide, the interactive decision tool, and the honest breakeven calculator. The $5,000-a-year question, answered with your numbers.

3

The Getting-Paid Module

New · ~12 pages

The question that bites everyone eventually: how do I take money out of my business? Draw vs. salary vs. distribution — what each one is, what each one costs, by structure — and the account-mixing habits that quietly create audit problems.

4

The Quarterly Tax Autopilot

New · Spreadsheet

Enter last year's tax and this year's expected profit; it returns your four safe-harbor payments and dates. Penalty-proof by math, not by hope. Includes the married-couple withholding trick.

5

The Tax Year Calendar

New · Print-and-pin page

Every date that actually applies to you, one page, on the wall. March 15 will never ambush you again.

6

The 50+ item tick-list to run against your bank statement — the quick-reference layer over the Playbook's depth.

The bundle exists because the pieces work better together — the structure decision changes the deduction playbook, which changes the quarterly numbers. Buying it as a system costs less than buying three pieces, and it's the version we'd want in your hands.

Honesty As Qualification

Who this is for — and who it isn't

For you if:

  • You earn self-employment income and profit is real (roughly $30k+) or getting there fast
  • You want to understand your tax picture, not outsource your curiosity
  • You have — or plan to get — a professional, and want to stop paying them to explain the basics

Not for you if:

  • You want someone to file for you (that's a preparer — go hire a good one, seriously)
  • You run a C corp with investors, or a complex multi-state operation (you've outgrown a $19.99 product; we say so)
  • You want loopholes. There are none here. There are rules, used correctly, which turns out to be worth more.
Questions, Answered Straight

FAQ

"I already bought the Decision Kit."

Then don't pay for it twice — Kit owners upgrade for the difference (link in your receipt email, or use the upgrade page). The Playbook is ~70% new material.

"Is this advice?"

Education. The Playbook makes you the informed one in the room; your own professional handles advice. Every product says this on the cover, and we mean it.

"How current is it?"

2026 Edition — the new tax law and this year's official IRS figures, with the source cited next to every number. When the IRS publishes 2027 numbers, editions update.

"Formats?"

PDFs + a browser tool + spreadsheets that work in Excel, Numbers, and Google Sheets. Everything is yours, offline, forever.

You already do the hard part — the work. This is the manual for the rest.

Twenty dollars, one evening, and the tax side of self-employment goes from anxiety to arithmetic.
