The Zero Tax Strategy by Jeremy Lederer, CPABack cover of The Zero Tax Strategy

The Zero Tax Strategy

Foreword by Mark J. Kohler

"Most people ask if something is deductible. Strategists ask how."

The playbook for thinking like a strategist, not a historian. Zero tax is possible. Implementation is the key.

The big frame

The Four Circles of Wealth Creation

Your wealth goal sits where four forces overlap. Tax efficiency is the circle many entrepreneurs overlook—and the one that can help drive the other three.

01

Tax Efficiency

Keep more of what you earn by using incentives already written into the code.

02

Specialization

Focus on what you do best while a coordinated team handles the rest.

03

Velocity

Put capital back to work quickly instead of letting it sit.

04

Leverage

Multiply results through capital, expertise, and thoughtful structure.

Inside the book

From understanding the code to implementing the plan.

Eight chapters move from first principles to practical application, with coordination and documentation treated as part of the strategy—not an afterthought.

  1. 01

    The True Purpose of the Tax Code

    Reframe the code as a system of incentives designed to reward specific economic activity—not simply a bill due every April.

  2. 02

    The Four Converging Circles of Wealth Creation

    Bring tax efficiency, specialization, velocity, and leverage together around one coordinated wealth goal.

  3. 03

    Why Most Tax Strategies Fail: The Implementation Gap

    A strategy has no value until the right actions, documents, and deadlines turn it into an implemented plan.

  4. 04

    Converting Tax Payments into Wealth-Building Opportunities

    Ask how capital can support qualifying productive activity rather than treating every projected tax dollar as immovable.

  5. 05

    Documentation: Your Shield Against IRS Scrutiny

    Build the records alongside the strategy so the facts, participation, and business purpose can be clearly supported.

  6. 06

    The Power of the Virtual Family Office

    Coordinate tax, legal, asset-protection, and wealth professionals around the same facts instead of planning in silos.

  7. 07

    Advanced Strategies for W-2 Income

    High earners can still explore planning opportunities, but eligibility depends on structure, participation, risk, and their actual facts.

  8. 08

    The Business Owner’s Tax Elimination Toolkit

    Combine foundational planning, advanced strategies, disciplined projection, and year-end execution into a repeatable process.
