In this Tax Tuesday episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle listener questions on choosing the right business structure and maximizing tax savings. They explore when to switch from sole proprietor to S-corporation status, explaining the sweet spot for making the transition and the significant tax benefits available through S-corps versus Schedule C filing. Amanda and Eliot dive deep into house flipping strategies using C-corporations to avoid dealer status and self-employment tax while maximizing deductions through accountable plans and bonus depreciation. They clarify the complexities of 1031 exchanges, especially when properties are held in partnerships, and introduce the "lazy 1031" strategy for offsetting capital gains using passive activity losses. The duo also addresses managing multiple LLCs without creating excessive tax filing burdens, deductions available for nonprofit volunteer work, and creative ways to fund retirement accounts through trading partnerships. Whether you're a truck driver looking to reduce your tax burden or an investor navigating 1031 exchange rules, this episode delivers expert guidance on structuring your business for maximum tax efficiency! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "I have a trading partnership with 40% C-corporation and 60% myself for ownership. The partnership makes around $20,000 in ordinary staking income." We're going to be talking about Bitcoin. "Can the C-corp use its $8000 in income to fund a 401(k) owned by the corporation since this is ordinary income?" - Yes, use solo 401(k) or tax-free reimbursement strategies instead. "What kind of deductions can I use as a C-corporation to offset capital gains from a house flipping?" - House flipping creates ordinary income, not capital gains, offset accordingly. "If I have multiple LLCs, do I have to file multiple tax returns?" - It depends on entity type and how they're connected. "I am a sole proprietor, independent truck driver, and I feel I'm paying very high taxes. What can I do?" - Consider switching to S-corp for self-employment tax savings at scale. "My tax preparer says, don't switch to an S-corp. Make an S-election until your revenue hits a hundred thousand dollars. Why is that? And how will an S-corp help me?" - S-corps save self-employment tax but add compliance costs and complexity. "If a property purchased via 1031 exchange is held in an LLC partnership, can it be converted to personal use like a personal residence after two years? If so, what are the tax implications?" - Extremely complicated; partnership ownership creates significant tax issues and barriers. "How may I pay no capital gain without a 1031 exchange?" - Use the lazy 1031 strategy releasing suspended passive losses. "If I volunteer my work or my time at a nonprofit agency, are there any tax deductions that I can take?" - Personal time isn't deductible, but mileage and expenses are.

In this solo training episode, John Q. Khosravi, Esq. breaks down the Top 3 USCIS memos every immigration lawyer must know — especially for family-based immigration practice. From conditional residence and adjustment of status to unlawful presence, John explains how each memo impacts your strategy, filings, and client outcomes. You'll learn:

Why estate planning and business succession fail most often has nothing to do with legal documents. It comes down to communication, valuation, and timing. In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, we explore the intersection of estate planning, business succession, and valuation with private client attorney Brian Balduzzi. Brian explains why estate planning is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Every business owner needs core documents in place to protect their family and business: wills, medical and financial powers of attorney, and a plan for what happens to their company. We dig into: How business valuation fits into estate and succession planning When to assemble the right advisor team and who should be at the table The dangers of ignoring valuation for illiquid assets Why failing to communicate plans derails succession efforts How gifting strategies, charitable giving, and legacy intentions shape outcomes Brian also touches on the emotional and human aspects of planning: chosen family considerations, stewardship of wealth, and why planning during life often creates better results than leaving everything to be sorted out later. If you're a business owner, this conversation offers practical steps to start protecting your company and your family today. #EstatePlanning #ProtectYourAssets #FuturePlanning #TaxStrategy #BusinessValuation #FamilyWealth #LifeGoals #LegacyPlanning ----more---- About Our Guest: Brian M.

What should a law firm owner do today to protect personal income five years from now? In this conversation, Sam Mollaei, Esq. shares how he scaled to six firms, signing 1,000 to 1,200 cases per month while working 25 to 30 hours a week. The playbook blends AI-enabled intake, an org chart that creates freedom, and disciplined media buying that tracks results to the dollar. You will hear how to shift from referrals to predictable business generation, why 99 percent of Sam's current ad spend is on Meta, how to calculate true cost per acquisition, and why document collection is the hidden bottleneck AI can fix next. If you feel the check engine light blinking on your practice, this episode shows you what to change now.Key TakeawaysFreedom comes from structure. An accurate org chart, not more revenue, creates time freedom for owners.Think like an owner, not an operator. Work with COOs and directors and focus your energy on strategy, marketing, and automation.Business generation is the moat. Firms that master client acquisition will outlast firms that wait for referrals.Track to the penny. Monitor spend, leads, qualified leads, signed cases, CPA, and ROI by channel, campaign, and asset.Practical CPA math. Up to one-third on marketing and roughly one-third on operations can work if delivery is efficient. Aim for profitable CPA by practice type and market.Go where scale lives. Sam currently allocates the vast majority of spend to Meta and targets state, multistate, or national rather than a single city.Intake is a system. Use AI to contact instantly, qualify with 3 to 4 questions, and auto-book qualified prospects for top intakers.Fix the survival rate. After signing up, AI can drive document collection and client follow through which determines how many cases reach the finish line.Urgency beats perfection. Keep a standing R and D budget, test quickly, delegate experiments, and decide fast.Prepare for leaner teams. AI will compress headcount across repetitive and text-heavy tasks. The best lawyers will run the business and perform high-level work.Resources MentionedCRM and automation: Legal Funnel, HubSpotCall tracking and recording: CallRailTelephony and call analysis: AlowareAutomation.

They explore how tools like ChatGPT are shaking up trademark filings, patent drafting, and the entire legal workflow. Greg shares stories from the trenches of the U.S. Patent Office and why AI may empower a new generation of DIY inventors. Jack introduces his latest innovation, a "human potential dashboard" that turns wearable data into a blueprint for better performance. Along the way, they unpack the risks of automation, the rise of self-taught creators, and the shifting line between human insight and machine intelligence.

In this special episode, tax attorney Toby Mathis, Esq., shifts focus from financial health to physical health by welcoming William Donovan from the Pritikin Longevity Center to discuss America's number one killer: cardiovascular disease. William shares his personal story of reversing heart disease and eliminating the need for bypass surgery through lifestyle changes at Pritikin, explaining how their medically supervised program has helped thousands achieve remarkable health transformations. The conversation covers the alarming statistics showing that 50% of heart attack victims had normal cholesterol levels, the critical role of endothelial function and arterial plaque, and why traditional risk factors don't tell the whole story. William explains the Pritikin Program's three-pillar approach, combining a whole-food, plant-based diet low in calorie density, daily exercise routines including resistance training, and comprehensive lifestyle education. They discuss how participants typically see dramatic improvements in just two weeks - lowering cholesterol by 23%, reducing blood pressure, eliminating medications, and reversing diabetes.

Whether you agree or disagree, there's a lot to unpack and discuss about your rights—and the realities—during a traffic stop. Let's get into it.I sit down with law student Troy Hendrickson to tackle a question I've noticed popping up everywhere on social media: Do you really have to get out of your car when the police tell you to? After watching numerous viral videos of people refusing officers' orders during traffic stops, I decided it was time to demystify the legal history behind this scenario—especially the Supreme Court case Pennsylvania v. Mimms.I explain why, yes, you do have to follow police instructions in these situations (even if you disagree), and why the courtroom—not the side of the road—is where you should fight any questionable police conduct. Along the way, Troy and I explore the wider issues: officer safety, misunderstandings about the law, and the rise of misinformation online. Here are 3 key takeaways you should know:You must comply if ordered out of your vehicle. Thanks to the Supreme Court decision in Pennsylvania v. Mims (1977), police can lawfully order you out of your car during a stop, even for minor violations.The fight happens in court—not on the roadside. Challenging a police order (even if you think it's unfair or unlawful) on the street will result in arrest or worse. “You're going to lose that fight…and a window.”Understanding why is crucial. These rules are based on “officer safety” and the structure of the rule of law. If you think your rights were violated, work with an attorney after the fact.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

465. The End of Busywork: How AI Is Reclaiming Lawyers' TimeArtificial Intelligence isn't just transforming the legal industry. It is rewriting how law firms grow, operate, and sign clients.In this episode of The Law Entrepreneur, Bo Royal, CEO of Pareto Legal sits down with Sam Mollaei, Esq., attorney-entrepreneur and founder of My Legal Academy, to reveal how forward-thinking law firms are using AI to fix intake, increase conversions, and scale without adding more staff.Sam shares the exact intake framework that helped one of his firms sign 500 clients a month with 12 intakers instead of 25 by using AI to automate follow-ups, qualify leads, and fill calendars with high-quality prospects.If you are still relying on referrals, or if your firm is not tracking its cost per client acquisition, this episode is your blueprint for building a predictable, scalable, and future-proof practice.“Lead generation is easy. Signing them up is where firms win or lose.” — Sam Mollaei, Esq.

In this episode of Tax Tuesday, Anderson advisors Barley Bowler, CPA, and Eliot Thomas, Esq., address listener questions on tax topics ranging from basic bookkeeping to advanced ESOP strategies. They cover essential bookkeeping practices for first-time rental property owners and the tax implications of transferring a fully depreciated truck from an S corporation to personal use. Barley and Eliot explain how to catch up on missed depreciation from prior years, the tax benefits of inheriting property versus receiving it as a gift, and how independent contractors should handle federal income and employment taxes. Other topics include choosing the best filing structure for single-member LLCs, tax reduction strategies for Schedule C solopreneurs earning over $100K, deferring traditional IRA distributions using Qualified Longevity Annuity Contracts (QLACs), and the little-known 1042 fund strategy for deferring taxes on ESOP distributions. Tune in for practical tax advice and strategies to keep more of what you earn! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "What's the most efficient way to get my books ready for filing taxes? I'm filing taxes for my first time rental business. I just acquired them this year. I'm a first time landlord without bookkeeping experience." A: Use bookkeeping software and categorize expenses properly throughout the year. "My S corporation owns a fully depreciated truck. Can I transfer the truck to my personal name and start taking mileage reimbursement instead? What are the tax implications?" A: Yes, but you'll recognize income equal to fair market value. "For the eight years now, my prior taxpayer never took depreciation for any of my rental properties or my property assets for the building, along with the components like the water heater. What do I do now?" A: File Form 3115 for a change in accounting method. "I'm considering moving into my parents' home while they're still living there. I'm curious about the best way to either transfer the house into my name or should I stay there and wait until they pass because they intend to leave the house to me anyway." A: Wait for inheritance to receive stepped-up basis and avoid gift taxes. "How do I pay federal income and employment taxes working as an independent contractor receiving a 1099?" A: Pay quarterly estimated taxes using Form 1040-ES throughout the year. "What tax filing structure do you recommend for a single-owner LLC wanting to not be a disregarded entity? Why? Pros and cons of the options." A: Consider S corporation for self-employment tax savings if income supports it. "I'm a Schedule C solopreneur looking for ways to avoid being overtaxed. I made over $100K this year and I'm the only breadwinner in my family of four with two kids under 18. We're in Florida. What do you recommend for ways to lower my taxable income?" A: Establish S corp, maximize retirement contributions, and utilize business deductions. "Is there any way to defer for tax reporting a distribution from my traditional IRA? I recently heard someone talking about this and was not sure if they were referring to a Qualified Longevity Annuity Contract (QLAC)." A: Yes, QLACs allow deferring up to $200K until age 85. "How does a 1042 fund work? I've never heard of that." A: It defers ESOP distribution taxes by reinvesting in qualified replacement stock.

In this episode Gil tells about his encounter with Cristina Perez, Esq. and apologizes for getting off on the wrong foot with her. After a couple years of no-contact, the two talk and work through their differences resulting in Cristina buying Gil a drink at the event. Soon after the highlight of the evening, came the lowlight. As Gil and friends are walking back to a high top table, two police officers walk into the event and arrest Gil. As it turns out, Bill Kelhoffer was waiting in the parking lot after he left the event where he called the cops to violate gil for the Injunction for Harassment against him. This backfired quickly as Gil was immediately released and advised to file his own Injunction for Harassment against Bill for weaponizing the IAH and trying to jail Gil. We continue to talk about the shit show that is Rafi Law Group. Also shoutout to Brandon Rafi who again failed to appear to speak in public. Typical of Brandon and the Coward we have witnessed the last two years. Stay tuned for more....

During Ep. 29 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. replies to the following Question 1: My lease terminates 1+ years from now. Shouldn't I wait until 12-24 months before my lease expires before considering selling my law firm? Poock begins by sharing a checklist relating to “Now is the Right Time to Sell Because . . . .”   That checklist features the following:   Life Event (egs. age, health, spouse's retirement, etc.) Low probability of selling to an internal successor The arrival of growth by acquisition The need to spend more time outside of “the office” Not generating as much business as yester-year Upcoming lease renewal As Poock points out, “[W]e consider the lease as a deal term.”   Reasons why include the following: (i) The possibility of a diminishing Book of Business by a selling law firm if that firm does not adopt Multi-Channel Digital Marketing in today's 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry; (ii) The possibility of a Random Tuesday event that would cause the value of a law firm to diminish significantly (egs. unexpected departure of a key employee lawyer; unforeseen physical or mental health event, or pre-mature death of a law firm owner); (iii) The value of lost time, especially after realizing the importance of time during the post-Covid 19 Era.   Poock also explains that Growing Law Firms present the common purchasers of Senior Attorney-led firms because Growing Law Firms want and need the following 3 resources that Senior Attorney-led firms offer:   Clients and referral sources, i.e., a Book of Business; Talented and experienced lawyers and para-staff; and Subject matter knowledge to convert to digital content to attract the attention of new clients who search online for lawyers and law firms to hire in today's 3.0 Digital Era for the legal industry.   Poock concludes by advising, “If you're considering selling your law firm, even if your lease may not terminate for more than one year out, we recommend that you really consider pursuing [a] sale. And, please consider your lease as a deal term to negotiate with a growing law firm that wants and needs what you have.”

In this episode, tax attorney Toby Mathis, Esq., welcomes Tom Chittum, former ATF Deputy Director and firearms law expert, to discuss the critical intersection of firearms ownership and estate planning. They explore what families need to know when inheriting firearms, from identifying contraband weapons to navigating complex federal regulations. Tom explains the biggest mistakes executors make, including informal transfers and failing to determine whether firearms, such as machine guns, are properly registered under the National Firearms Act of 1934. The conversation covers the distinction between regular firearms and NFA weapons (machine guns, silencers, short-barreled shotguns), the severe criminal penalties for unlawful possession, and the importance of working with federal firearms licensees for transfers. Tom provides practical guidance on securing firearms, maintaining proper inventories, using gun trusts to simplify inheritance, and understanding both actual and constructive possession. With insights from decades of ATF experience, Tom offers actionable steps gun owners can take today to protect their families from legal headaches and ensure valuable firearms or family heirlooms don't become government-destroyed contraband due to simple mistakes.

If you've ever wondered whether just carrying a large sum of cash could land you in legal hot water—or what steps you can take if it happens to you—this episode is a must-listen.Host Steve Palmer is joined by Troy Hendrickson, a law student, to tackle the not-so-theoretical question: What really happens if the police take your cash during a routine traffic stop?Steve and Troy unravel the complexities behind asset forfeiture, sharing real-life cases where drivers have had tens of thousands of dollars seized by law enforcement—sometimes with little explanation or due process. Together, discuss the legal procedures that should protect your property rights, what “due process” really means in these situations, and how a legal team actually fights to recover seized money.They also dig into the difference between criminal charges and civil asset forfeiture, dispel myths about what cash in your car “proves,” and highlight the burdens of proof on both sides. Plus, they candidly share the frustrations and realities of navigating police departments, public records, and the sometimes slow-moving wheels of justice.Moments00:00 "Due Process and Contraband Notices"03:57 Criminal Indictment and Asset Forfeiture07:01 "Seeking Legal Help"09:48 "Money Laundering Charges Negotiation"13:58 Drug Mule Traffic Stop Explained17:13 Money Possession Isn't Criminal22:54 Roadside Bribe in Costa RicaHere are 3 key takeaways you should know:Due Process Should Prevail (But Doesn't Always): The system is supposed to require official notice and a chance to fight for your seized property. But real-world cases often leave people in limbo, unable to get a straight answer or their assets back without taking legal action.Just Having Cash Is Not a Crime: Simply possessing large sums of money—even if it sets off police suspicions—is not illegal. The government needs something more than "it looks fishy" or "a dog sniffed it" to justify permanent seizure.Challenging Seizure Is Complicated and Costly: To recover seized money, you often have to initiate a civil lawsuit, shouldering the burden to prove it's your property and that the government is holding it. This process can be lengthy, expensive, and stacked against innocent owners.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.
