North Carolina: Your Taxes Just Got More Complex (and Full of Opportunity)
From phased state income tax cuts to small business exemptions, North Carolina taxpayers face a changing landscape. Whether you own a business, invest in property, or simply earn W-2 income, proactive tax planning can make a major difference in what you owe—and what you keep.
That’s why Polaris built the Tax Strategy Finder.
In less than two minutes, this free tool walks you through a few questions and matches you with common—but often overlooked—IRS-approved strategies tailored to your scenario.
And it’s not generic. It’s designed to reflect the reality of taxpayers in the Carolinas.
Sample Tax Strategies You Might Discover
Depending on your answers, the tool may uncover:
1. Entity Optimization
Should you remain a sole proprietor—or convert to an S Corporation? This strategy can reduce your self-employment tax and improve audit readiness.
2. Business Fringe Benefits
As a North Carolina business owner, offering reimbursements (home office, mileage, health coverage) can lower taxable income—while still benefiting you personally.
3. Real Estate Tax Breaks
Do you own or rent out property in NC? You may qualify for accelerated depreciation, short-term rental exemptions, or Section 280A benefits.
4. Hiring Family Members
Paying your children through your business could shift income into lower tax brackets—when done properly.
5. Retirement Planning
If you’re self-employed or an S Corp owner, contributions to a solo 401(k) or SEP IRA could defer significant income and reduce your tax bill.
6. Income & Expense Timing
If your income fluctuates, strategic deferral or acceleration of income and expenses can help you better manage NC and federal tax liabilities.
7. HSA & Health-Based Deductions
With rising healthcare costs, North Carolina residents may benefit from HSAs, QSEHRAs, or premium reimbursement strategies.
