Tax Strategies to Embrace and Avoid & A Case Study on Where to Look for Errors on Your Tax Return: My Guest Appearance on Eye Own A Business Podcast
March 23, 2026
Many optometrists are either leaving money on the table with their tax strategy—or unknowingly pushing the boundaries of tax law.
Today’s episode is my guest appearance on Dr. Steve Vargo’s Eye Own a Business Podcast. Steve invited me onto his show to talk about tax planning for optometrists—specifically the strategies practice owners should be embracing right now, the ones they should avoid, and where costly mistakes often show up on tax returns.
In our conversation, we walk through several examples of where optometric practice owners tend to be either too conservative or too aggressive with their tax strategies, the difference between proactive tax strategy and reactive tax preparation, and a practical case study highlighting an error that occurred on an OD’s tax return—and what correcting that mistake will mean for them going forward.
