Seven strategies, each with an overview, the requirements, and the next step. The code sections and IRS publications behind every one are cited at the foot of the page, so you can take it to any advisor and have a real conversation.

1. Home Office — What “exclusively and regularly” actually means, and how the deduction works differently depending on whether your practice is a Schedule C or an S-Corp.
2. Hiring Your Child — Under 18 means no social security or Medicare on their wages — but only for some entity types, and only at a market rate for real work.
3. Employee Achievement Award — Up to $400 of tangible property per employee, excluded from their income. Worth knowing the S-Corp owner-employee exclusion before you plan around it.
4. Accountable Plan — The mechanism that turns out-of-pocket spending into a business deduction and non-taxable cash back to you. If your practice isn't a Schedule C, this is how the home office reaches you.
5. 1031 Exchange — Selling a building without the capital gains bill. 45 days to identify, 180 to execute, and a qualified intermediary from the start — miss the sequence and the whole thing collapses.
6. Home Gain Exclusion — Up to $500,000 of gain on a primary residence excluded, if you meet the two-of-five-years test.
7. Augusta Strategy — Rent your home to your practice for up to 14 days a year, tax-free to you and deductible to the business. Needs an S-Corp, C-Corp or partnership, a written lease, and documented local rates.

Not all seven will apply to your practice. Which ones do depends on your entity, whether you own your building, and whether you have staff. That's the conversation, not the e-book.
