Stop Feeding the IRS a Wheelbarrow of Your Money
The exact system California contractors are using to legally cut their tax bill by converting from a sole prop to an S-corp — before this tax year locks in.

What You’ll Walk Away With
This isn’t a sales pitch dressed up as a webinar. It’s the same breakdown we give contractors one-on-one — just live, and free.
Why sole props quietly overpay
The exact mechanism — self-employment tax — that costs profitable contractors thousands a year without them ever seeing a red flag.
The real breakeven number
Most CPAs won’t run this for you unprompted. We’ll show you the net-profit threshold where an S-corp actually starts saving you money.
The CSLB timing trap
Your license renews on a 2-year clock. Your S-corp election runs on a completely different one. Miss it, and you wait a full year.
The audit-rate myth
Most contractors assume switching structures raises their audit risk. IRS data says the opposite. We’ll show you the numbers.
Inside the Training
Three parts, about 45 minutes, followed by live Q&A.
The Hidden Cost of Staying a Sole Prop
Why the IRS treats your business income differently once you understand self-employment tax — and what it’s actually costing you today.
The S-Corp Breakeven Formula
A simple way to know, in five minutes, whether conversion is worth it for your specific numbers this year.
The 3-Step Conversion Timeline
The exact order of operations — entity formation, election filing, payroll setup — and the CSLB renewal deadline most contractors miss entirely.

Allen Diaz
Allen has spent 15 years building Contractor License School into the education partner over 10,000 California contractors have trusted to get licensed, structured, and set up to actually keep more of what they earn. A serial entrepreneur across the trades and business-services space, Allen built this training after watching too many licensed, profitable contractors leave money on the table simply because no one ever laid the numbers out for them.
A licensed general contractor netting $140,000 a year converted to an S-corp mid-year. After payroll and filing costs, he kept an estimated $9,200 more than he would have as a sole prop — money that would otherwise have gone straight to self-employment tax.
Before You Register
Is this actually free, or is there a catch?
Free to attend, no catch. At the end, we’ll let you know how to work with us directly if it’s a fit — no pressure either way.
I’m not sure I’m profitable enough for this to matter.
That’s exactly what part II answers. Come find out where your number stands — it takes five minutes to know for certain.
What if I can’t make it live?
Register anyway — we’ll send the replay to your email, along with the breakeven worksheet we use on the call.
Do I need to already be a licensed contractor?
This training is built specifically for licensed California contractors currently operating as a sole proprietor.
Your Next Tax Quarter Is the Deadline
S-corp elections apply from the date they’re filed forward — they don’t work retroactively. Every quarter you wait is savings you don’t get back.
