The Eiduk System Blueprint

A one-page map of everything you own.

Which sounds like you?

See a real Blueprint · Sample

You don't have a tax problem. You have a coordination problem.

You built the business, bought the buildings, funded the brokerage, and started the retirement plans — and every one was set up by a different professional in a different year. Nobody is looking at all of it together. This is what it looks like when one team finally runs your Tax, Cash Flow, and Wealth on a single page.

The Delgado-Hart Familyan illustrative composite: a two-owner design-build firm, six rental doors plus the shop it operates from, a taxable brokerage, and a handful of retirement plans. Four moving parts, four advisors, no one holding the whole picture. Every figure below is illustrative.

The Eiduk System · Your Roadmap

Action Items

1
TaxRun a PTET election analysis so the state tax bill stops wasting your SALT cap.
2
TaxFile the self-rental grouping so the Shop & Yard building deductions offset business profit.
3
TaxDocument material participation on the Lakeside short-term rental before year-end.
4
TaxOrder a cost segregation study on the rental doors while the deduction can still land this year.
5
TaxRun the kids' documented payroll through the rental LLC rather than the S-corp — it is parent-owned, so the wages stay FICA-free without standing up a second entity.
6
TaxAdopt a written accountable plan at the S-corp and reimburse home office, mileage, and phone on a regular cadence.
7
TaxPaper the Augusta rule before year-end — market-rate quotes from comparable venues, calendared board meetings, under 15 days for the year.
8
Cash FlowStand up the operating / reserve / owner-pay account structure so profit is allocated before it is spent.
9
WealthLayer a cash balance plan on the S-corp to shelter peak-year profit.
10
WealthMove appreciated brokerage shares into a donor-advised fund to bunch charitable deductions.

SYSTEM 3 · WEALTH — INVESTMENT TAX EFFICIENCY

The Hidden Tax on Your Investments

Estimate — confirm against your 1099s

Your taxable accounts throw off income every year whether you spend it or not — and the IRS taxes it every year. Here is what that costs at top rates:

Estimated annual tax

$6,872

every year, growth or not

Advanced Tax Strategies

The Math Test

A big deduction isn't automatically a win. When a strategy buys a deduction with real money, like bonus depreciation, it first has to beat the boring alternative: simply investing the same dollars. That head-to-head is built into how we model these strategies, and if the math says the deduction loses, we'll tell you. That's the point. You can run your own numbers anytime: Try Deduction vs. Invest

Weighing a short-term rental or another property purchase? The same discipline applies to the whole deal: rents, appreciation, and the cost segregation deductions, head-to-head against simply investing the down payment and every dollar the property consumes: Try Rental vs. Invest

Savings indications are planning estimates that depend on specific facts, elections, and implementation; they are not projections or written tax advice. Each strategy is confirmed against the complete situation before any action is taken.
