Your buddy’s in for half. No salaries—just sweat equity.&nbsp;“We’ll figure it out when the money comes.”&nbsp;Then tax season hits.&nbsp;You didn’t pay yourselves a dime…&nbsp;but the IRS says you owe anyway.&nbsp;That’s the&nbsp;Sweat Equity Blues.&nbsp;No cash. No paycheck. Still taxable.&nbsp;Here’s the part most founders miss:&nbsp;Sweat equity is often a taxable event—even when no money changes hands.&nbsp;Play it wrong, and you’re writing a check to the IRS before you’ve made one yourself.&nbsp;Play it right, and there are ways to reduce—or even eliminate—that burden.&nbsp;But only if you set it up correctly from the start.&nbsp;That’s what this session is about.&nbsp;Not to talk you out of sweat equity—&nbsp;but to make sure you understand the rules before you’re stuck singing the blues.&nbsp;Come get clarity.Then structure it the right way—so your upside stays yours.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shane Bohlender&nbsp;is a CPA and MBA with 30 years of experience advising business owners and executives on complex tax, equity, and ownership decisions. As a Fractional CFO, he partners with business owners to design ownership structures, navigate K-1 reporting and profit interests, and align financial strategy with long-term growth and exit objectives.&nbsp;&nbsp;
