I recommend that you learn the tax code and take ownership over your strategy.Not having some foundational knowledge and an opinion on how to approach taxes as a business owner is a huge mistake.In my experience, every single business owner who says "I just let my CPA worry about it and I focus on my business" is doing a suboptimal job at tax planning.They are likely missing out on 10s or hundreds of thousands in saved dollars every year.Stop making excuses and get to work.Just a few months of part-time learning about taxes will pay you for the rest of your career.
