Life Changing Money with Barbara Schreihans

What if one of the biggest expenses in your family budget could also become one of your most powerful tax strategies?In this episode, Barbara breaks down a little-known (and often misunderstood) tax strategy that can completely change how business owners pay for health, wellness, and family medical care: the Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (MERP).Most business owners are already spending tens of thousands of dollars each year on things like therapy, orthodontics, hormone testing, supplements, gym memberships, and medical care for their children, but they’re paying for all of it with after-tax dollars. This episode explains how, when structured correctly, a MERP allows your business to reimburse you tax-free for qualifying medical expenses, dramatically reducing your tax bill year after year.You’ll learn why most CPAs have never heard of MERPs, why many business owners who think they have one are using it incorrectly, and how the tax code actually allows these reimbursements when the plan is properly set up and administered.Tune in to hear:Why health and wellness is the second largest expense in most family budgetsHow MERPs convert personal medical spending into tax-free reimbursementsThe difference between itemized medical deductions and business reimbursementsEntity-specific rules for S-corps, C-corps, and family management companiesWhy letters of medical necessity are critical for many expensesHow to avoid common compliance mistakes that trigger IRS scrutinyHow MERPs support long-term financial planning for families and childrenDownload the free Write Off Your Wellness Guide: https://taxedacademy.com/writeoffyourwellnessHow To Get Involved:Life-Changing Money is a podcast all about money.
