No way your paying 45k in taxes on a 220k earned income. I own a flooring installation business in NJ and every year home depot and lowes send me the dreaded 1099. This year I made over 250k and payed the irs 7k in taxes. Get yourself a better accountant, and get yourself some write offs. I pay my 2 employees in cash so Im left paying tax on everything I bring in. Im surprised your accountant didnt get rid of most of that.
