That’s the goal of the Pathway to Zero: legally bring your tax bill as low as the law allows. Here’s how it starts.
Pick a time that suits you, enter your details, and reserve your seat. Takes about 30 seconds.
Bring last year’s return. See what you’re likely overpaying, and the write-offs your CPA never brought up.
Leave with your path to legally lowering your bill, this year and every year after, with a former IRS auditor’s team.
Every year without a strategy costs you money you already earned.

What you’re likely overpaying every year, calculated live on your own business while you watch.
The exact date the government quietly deletes the oldest year of your money. Nobody sends you a letter about it.
They just couldn’t prove it. Agents were trained to ask one question, and it’s not the one TikTok warned you about. She’ll show you exactly what it is, live.
The law gives you roughly three years from the filing deadline to claim it. Then the oldest year expires. Forever. On the training you’ll learn the date yours runs out.
Early in her IRS career, Carlotta audited a business owner with a perfect mileage log: dates, destinations, receipts. Then her instructor asked for one document his accountant had never mentioned. He didn’t have it, and roughly $40,000 in expenses came off his return. On the training, you’ll find out in ten seconds whether you have it.

“Last year we paid 7.5% tax. They have literally changed our life.”
“Every spring I brace for another five-figure bill I didn’t see coming.”
“I had no idea what I was doing with taxes and I suspected my current accountant didn’t know either... Carlotta and the team were able to help me save TENS of thousands of dollars by structuring me properly early on.”
“Two hours is a lot. Will it actually be worth my time?”
“This is the most exciting webinar. I haven’t even gone to the bathroom because I don’t want to miss anything :-)”
“It’s free. So what’s the catch?”
“This is chock full of value and we are blessed to be able to get this kind of information for free. Thank you so much for putting this together.”

Client results Carlotta walks through in the live training.
She earned $569,131, and her CPA saw the same return every year. Nothing on it was exotic. What was missing was never knowledge. It was proof.
Client results shared in the live training. Individual results vary.
She earned $216,942, right in the middle of the room. Same strategies, smaller tree, and she chose exactly how far to go.

Carlotta Thompson started studying tax law at 14 years old, when an IRS instruction booklet came in the mail and her dad told her to read it. By 18, she was out-calculating the big-box tax software.
She went on to spend seven years as an IRS auditor, including the National Research Project, a team so small that most agents spend an entire career in that building and never once sit in the room. What she saw changed everything: business owners losing money that was legally theirs, not because they cheated, but because nobody helped them prove it. When a blue-collar business owner told her the bill she’d just handed him would cost him his business, she walked out.
She started helping business owners at night through her church. That ministry grew into Tax Strategists of America: 50+ employees, including five ex-IRS agents who build every file to the examiner’s standard. She has trained IRS auditors, CPAs, and enrolled agents across the country, and gives back through her Called to Love nonprofit.
Only the IRS can beat the IRS.
Your CPA is graded on whether your return gets filed and accepted. We’re graded on how little you legally pay, by a team built from the people who used to run the exam.
Keep the CPA you love. We work alongside them, and your annual file is built so they can drop it straight into your return.
See the proactive side for yourself, free.

Yes, the live training is 100% free. Carlotta teaches real strategies and real audit stories, and at the end she explains how Tax Strategists of America can help if you want it. Attending carries no obligation.
No. This is built for established business owners and investors. You’ve probably heard of the five or six strategies everyone talks about. The training goes past those, into the 150+ most owners never use, and why the IRS taxes what you can’t prove.
Carlotta used to decide which returns got pulled for audit, and her answer surprises most people. The riskiest return isn’t an aggressive one. It’s an honest one you can’t prove. The training shows what an examiner actually checks, and why proper documentation lowers your risk.
Then keep your CPA. During the training you’ll run a 10-second test that shows whether your current setup includes the one document most owners are missing. Either way, Tax Strategists of America works alongside your CPA, not instead of them.
Then this training is for you. Carlotta gives you three questions that expose any tax firm, including hers: who builds the file, who holds the file, and who talks to the IRS if they call. If the answer to any of them is “you do,” you’re being sold ideas, not proof.
Ask it anything, and you’ll show up smarter. But AI can describe a strategy. It can’t build your file, hold it, or sit across the table from an examiner, and it’s confidently wrong about tax law more often than people think.
Six-figure business owners and 1099 contractors: doctors and medical practices, contractors and skilled trades, consultants, agencies, tech founders, and real estate investors. If you have W-2 income only, with no business, side income, or rentals, this training probably isn’t for you.
Yes. Accountants attend every session. Take notes and reach out afterward, because Tax Strategists of America partners with accountants across the country.
It runs live online, and new sessions are added regularly. When you register you’ll pick the session that works for you and see it in your own time zone automatically. Please budget about two hours and bring last year’s tax return if you have it. Attendees regularly say it goes fast.
Still deciding? The seat is free either way.
