  • Carlotta Thompson - Ex IRS Auditor Saving Business Owners Millions
    Nov 20 2025

    From studying tax law at just 14 years old to landing her dream job inside the IRS, Carlotta Thompson seemed destined for a lifelong career in government. But once she stepped behind the curtain as an IRS auditor, she discovered something shocking: countless business owners were leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars on the table in missed deductions — and the system wasn’t built to help them.

    Realizing she was “on the wrong side,” Carlotta walked away from the IRS to pursue a bigger mission: help entrepreneurs pay the least amount of tax legally possible. Today, as the Founder & CEO of Tax Strategists of America, she leads business owners through her signature Pathway to Zero™ program — a proven framework that uncovers hidden deductions, maximizes tax strategy, and empowers owners to keep more of what they earn.

    In this episode, Carlotta reveals the truths she learned inside the IRS, the most common (and costly) mistakes business owners make, and the practical steps entrepreneurs can take to dramatically reduce their tax burden without ever crossing legal lines. If you're an investor or business owner who wants to stop overpaying the IRS, this is a must-listen.
