From studying tax law at just 14 years old to landing her dream job inside the IRS, Carlotta Thompson seemed destined for a lifelong career in government. But once she stepped behind the curtain as an IRS auditor, she discovered something shocking: countless business owners were leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table in missed deductions — and the system wasn't built to help them. Realizing she was “on the wrong side,” Carlotta walked away from the IRS to pursue a bigger mission: help entrepreneurs pay the least amount of tax legally possible. Today, as the Founder & CEO of Tax Strategists of America, she leads business owners through her signature Pathway to Zero™ program — a proven framework that uncovers hidden deductions, maximizes tax strategy, and empowers owners to keep more of what they earn. In this episode, Carlotta reveals the truths she learned inside the IRS, the most common (and costly) mistakes business owners make, and the practical steps entrepreneurs can take to dramatically reduce their tax burden without ever crossing legal lines. If you're an investor or business owner who wants to stop overpaying the IRS, this is a must-listen.Follow Carlotta
As we close in on year-end, this week's “Henssler Money Talks” tackles three financial decisions that can make a major impact on your long-term plan. First, before you write that last charitable check of 2025, make sure you're doing it strategically. We break down the evolving charitable giving rules—from updated deduction limits to how Qualified Charitable Distributions and Donor Advised Funds can help you give more efficiently. Whether you donate regularly or ramp up your giving at year-end, understanding these rules can help you maximize both your impact and your tax benefit. Next, we dig into a question many listeners are asking: Should you stop saving and pay off the mortgage before retirement? While being debt-free sounds great, it may leave you “house-rich and cash-poor.” We unpack the trade-offs, including how mortgage rates compare to long-term investment returns, the risks of cutting back on 401(k) contributions, and why carrying some debt into retirement may actually support your overall financial flexibility. Finally, we explore the recommended “order to savings”—and why it's not a one-size-fits-all formula. From employer retirement plans to Roth IRAs to taxable brokerage accounts, where you save first can depend on your goals, timeline, and tax picture. We break down the most common prioritization framework and help you think through the right path for your personal situation. Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
