Truck to Success course covers taxes for prospective owner-ops

Taxes can be confusing regardless of circumstances. For someone considering the jump to being an owner-operator, there are tax consequences that need to be thoughtfully considered. That is why OOIDA is including the topic in its Truck to Success course curriculum.

OOIDA’s Truck to Success is a course taught by trucking experts, many with extensive experience behind the steering wheel of a tractor-trailer, who work for the largest trucking association dedicated to helping drivers in all areas be successful. The course is designed for company drivers who are interested in transitioning to being owner-operators.

Tax expert Barry Fowler is scheduled to lead the session on taxes as part of the Truck to Success course scheduled for Oct. 26-28.

Fowler owns and founded Fowler Tax and Taxation Solutions Inc., Houston. He is an enrolled agent, which means he is a federally authorized tax practitioner who is empowered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to represent taxpayers before all administrative levels of the Internal Revenue Service.

Because of his expertise, Fowler has been featured in Inc. Magazine, CBS Moneywatch, Yahoo Finance and Fox News online.

TruckerTaxTools.com is a division of Fowler’s Taxation Solutions. Through TruckerTaxTools.com, Fowler and his staff provide tax solutions for every level of trucker, from driver to owner-operator to corporate.

There is a suite of tax strategies available to owner-operator business owners that are not available to employee drivers getting W-2. Fowler plans to share information on forming a business entity and maximizing deductions.
