Business Tax Planning for Ohio Companies

Proactive strategies that legally reduce taxes for LLCs and small businesses across Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus.

Strategic Tax Planning, Not Just Compliance

Ohio offers significant advantages for business owners. Our planning goes beyond filing returns to help you keep more of what you earn.

Key Ohio Opportunities We Help You Capture

  • Business Income Deduction: Up to $250,000 of qualifying business income is exempt from Ohio income tax ($125,000 for married filing separately), with excess taxed at a flat 3%.
  • S-Corporation Election: Reduce self-employment taxes by paying a reasonable salary and taking remaining profits as distributions.
  • Pass-Through Entity Tax (PTET): Elect to pay tax at the entity level to potentially bypass the federal SALT deduction cap.
  • Municipal Tax Coordination: Proper handling of city income taxes in Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, and surrounding municipalities.
  • Timing & Entity Decisions: Year-end planning for equipment purchases (Section 179 / bonus depreciation), retirement contributions, and income/expense timing.

Who Benefits Most

Owners of LLCs, S-Corps, sole proprietorships, and multi-member entities with $75,000+ in profit who want structured, ongoing tax reduction rather than reactive filing.
