It’s that time of year again.
When I get the dreaded phone call….
“The IRS says I owe a quarter million. Can you help me make it go away?”

Sorry, that I had to skip a day to complete this discussion on trucking businesses- and the future.
We’ve talked about why you have to consider autonomous trucking- where you aren’t needed as the driver as part of your considerations. And, you have to develop a business plan (not the 30 to 100 page tomes you see for larger firms), but about 5 pages that lets you have a road map- and signposts to ensure you are on your way to a profitable venture. (As discussed below, you also need this business plan to obtain your own carrier registration, to operate your own trucking entity.)
As long as you do not operate as a partnership (partners only get a draw, fully subject to all taxes, including payroll taxes), the owners of an enterprise are expected to be paid a salary. That’s the IRS position- the one that counts.
