This is not tax advice
Tax rules change and depend on your facts. Use this only as a starting point, then talk with a qualified tax professional.
The path changes the rules
W-2 associates, 1099 contractors, and practice owners face different income, expense, and planning choices.
- W-2 employment
- 1099 contractor work
- Practice ownership
- Entity and expense setup
Keep marketing and books clear
Track ad spend, contractor fees, and growth tools as business costs with clean records. Do not mix patient chart data into marketing tools.
Keep patient data out
Use public facts and total business numbers. Do not send patient names, charts, health facts, or visit details.
