On this episode of Insurance Refocused, Carey and Lindsay Wallace sit down with tax attorney David Foate to unpack the truth about year-end tax planning for insurance agencies. From entity structure decisions to vehicle deductions, R&D credits, and home office rules, they cover what really works and what might land you in trouble with the IRS.

David shares real audit stories, explains why S Corps often make sense for agencies, and breaks down how to tell the difference between smart tax strategies and the viral “hacks” flooding social media. Whether you’re trying to lower your tax bill, prepare for a future sale, or just avoid costly mistakes, this conversation offers practical advice every agency owner should hear before year-end.
