Simplifying Taxes for Private Practice

Private practice taxes can be complex. Are you setup as an LLC, PLLC or S Corp? What tax deductions can you claim? We specialize in helping therapists across the country optimize their taxes for the best return.

Private Practice Taxes: What Should You Know?

Whether it’s your first year in the office or you’re running a multi-location group practice, the tax filing process can be a nightmare for many. As a therapist, there are many things to consider when it comes to tax preparation. What tax credits can you claim? Can a home office be claimed? How much should you pay in estimated taxes throughout the year? Is your business setup in the most cost effective way? These are all questions to consider before we reach end of year.

Estimated Taxes vs. Year End Taxes

As if end-of-year taxes aren’t stressful enough, there’s a good chance you should be paying estimated taxes on a quarterly basis throughout the year. What are estimated taxes? They are an estimation of your annual taxes – divided in bite-sized chunks – to pay the IRS at certain intervals during the year. The worst part is that if you don’t make these payments, chances are you could receive a penalty fee come April 15th. It’s important to speak to an accountant as soon as possible if you aren’t yet paying estimated taxes as a private practice therapist.
