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.
What did you show as your net business income? On 220k of self employment income you're paying $19,623 in self employment tax alone, that's before any income tax.
