  • #609 Should You Contribute to Your Traditional IRA, or Go Roth Instead?

    Should you take the tax deduction today… or build tax-free wealth for tomorrow? In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen break down the Roth vs. Traditional IRA debate and explain why the “lower tax bracket in retirement” argument doesn’t always hold up in the real world.

    They walk through the math, the mindset, and the long-term strategy behind both options — including inheritance planning, self-directing for higher returns, tax rate uncertainty, flexibility in retirement, and why most entrepreneurs don’t actually earn less in retirement. You’ll also learn how the backdoor Roth IRA works for high-income earners and how to use creative tax strategies to offset Roth conversions.

    If you’re rushing to make a last-minute IRA contribution before the tax deadline, this episode could change your decision. Make sure you understand the long-term consequences before chasing a short-term deduction!

    You’ll learn:

    • The real difference between a Roth IRA and a Traditional IRA — and why the math isn’t the whole story
    • Why the “you’ll be in a lower tax bracket in retirement” argument often fails for entrepreneurs and investors
    • How paying taxes on the seed vs. the harvest dramatically impacts long-term wealth
    • Why a Roth IRA can be the most powerful asset to leave to your kids
    • How high-income earners can legally use the backdoor Roth IRA strategy
    • When a Traditional IRA might still make sense — and how to use both strategically
    • How to create offsetting tax strategies to fund a Roth without increasing your tax burden
    • Why contributing early (not just before the deadline) can significantly increase long-term returns

  • #604 Year-End Equipment Purchases — When They Save Taxes (And When They Don't!)

    Buying a new truck or piece of equipment before December 31 can feel like the ultimate year-end tax hack, but this episode breaks down why that decision can either save you thousands or create a painful tax bill you never saw coming. Mark J. Kohler and Mat Sorensen walk through the real math behind deductions, bonus depreciation, basis, and business-use percentages so you don’t fall into the traps many business owners hit when rushing into a purchase for the write-off. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should buy now, wait, or skip the purchase altogether, this conversation gives you the clarity you need.

    You’ll learn how tax brackets, depreciation schedules, and financing choices impact your allowable deduction, why bonus depreciation isn’t always the smartest move, and how S-corp basis affects whether you can deduct anything at all. The guys also explain year-end timing strategies, the time value of money, and how to prioritize deductions that actually move the needle—while avoiding the mindset of treating tax planning like a last-minute school assignment.

    If you want to make smart year-end decisions, hit like and subscribe for more practical tax and wealth-building strategies. Have a question about your specific situation? Drop it in the comments! And if you’re considering a major purchase before December 31, watch this episode before heading to the dealership or equipment lot.

    You’ll learn:

    • How to avoid the biggest year-end tax mistakes business owners make when rushing to buy equipment or a new truck
    • Why “just because you can doesn’t mean you should” is the most important rule in year-end tax planning
    • The difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit, and why confusing the two leads to expensive decisions
    • How to calculate whether a year-end equipment purchase actually saves you money after factoring in your tax bracket
    • Why business-use percentage determines whether your vehicle deduction is $100,000 or $30,000
    • Why 100% bonus depreciation can become a trap if you finance equipment without having basis in your S corporation
    • Why contractors, doctors, and other high-income earners should not automatically take bonus depreciation in one year

  • #603 3 Year-End Retirement Account Deadlines You're Not Thinking About

    These three retirement deadlines before December 31, 2025, could literally double your money overnight, unlock up to $70,000 of Roth contributions, and turn your accounts into a tax-free ATM for your future! In this episode of the Main Street Business Podcast, Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Kohler break down powerful, little-known 401(k) and Roth strategies that most employees and small business owners are completely missing.

    You’ll learn how to “match & out” your workplace 401(k) so you don’t leave free employer money on the table, how the Mega Backdoor Roth works using after-tax contributions inside your 401(k), and why high earners and oil rig workers were among the first to exploit it. The guys also cover critical year-end deadlines for setting up a solo 401(k), how to snag valuable small business tax credits, and smart ways to structure Roth conversions so you don’t accidentally bump yourself into a much higher tax bracket. They even touch on using your kids’ earned income to fund their own Roth IRAs and create generational tax-free wealth.

    If you want to keep more of what you make, grow your retirement accounts faster, and stop relying on Wall Street or your employer to “save” you, this episode is your year-end checklist.

    • The exact deadlines and setup requirements for opening and funding a Solo 401(k) for small business owners
