Are Continuing Education Costs Deductible For Therapists In Private Practice?
Are continuing education costs deductible for therapists in private practice? Yes! Find out which expenses qualify, which don’t, and how to claim them on your taxes.
We work with therapy practices and small businesses of all kinds with one main goal: to help your business grow. We provide the financial reporting you need to make better business decisions, handle tax preparation & filing services to minimize tax liability, and provide expert financial coaching to support you along the way.
TL;DR is a remote accounting firm, and the thing we care most about is doing right by the people who hire us. That sounds obvious until you’ve worked with an accountant who hands over a return, takes the fee, and leaves you to work out what any of it means for the practice you’re actually running.
Our mission is to solve the problem in front of you, then explain the answer well enough that you can use it again the next time a decision comes up. What we believe is simple enough: you shouldn’t need a second accountant to interpret the first one.
Credentials you can check. Khaled Albadawi is a Certified Public Accountant, listed as licensed to practice public accounting in the Washington State Board of Accountancy’s public register. Usman Kodvavi is a Certified Public Accountant. Nicole Piele is an IRS Enrolled Agent, which the IRS describes as the highest credential it awards. You can meet everyone on our team page.
