When the IRS Knocks, Be Ready with Strategy Not Fear with Carlos Samaniego
What if the IRS wasn’t your adversary—but an opportunity waiting to be negotiated? In this episode, I sit down with Carlos Samaniego, founder of Tax Debt Consultants and author of How to Make the IRS an Offer They Can’t Refuse.
Carlos shares his personal and professional expertise navigating IRS and state tax issues, particularly for self-employed entrepreneurs and small business owners caught in the tightening grip of federal scrutiny.
We dive into real-world strategies for tax liability management—like leveraging expenses, hiring the right bookkeeper, and building a defensible financial profile that stands up to IRS pressure.
But this isn’t just a tax talk. We explore how seismic shifts in AI, automation, and quantum computing are reshaping the future of compliance and wealth strategy.
For investors, this conversation underscores why understanding tax trends is essential not just for protection—but for positioning. As regulatory scrutiny and digital disruption accelerate, the savviest capital knows how to pivot with precision.
Whether you're a small business owner, an independent operator, or an investor evaluating risk from every angle, this episode is your reminder that even tax challenges can be turned into smart plays—with the right mindset, the right tools, and the right people in your corner.
