Independent Contractor

As a 1099 Independent Contractor dentist, you have many unique tax opportunities compared to W-2 Employees. As an independent contractor, you can receive tax incentives and deductions for your qualifying dental business expenses, including meals, CE, licensing costs, equipment, supplies, auto expenses, and more. As dental accountants specializing in independent contractors, we have found the potential tax deductions minimize the overall tax liability for independent contractor dentists as compared to comparable employee dentists.

Independent Contractor

Along with the tax benefits, comes tax compliance requirements. As an independent contractor, you will not have Federal, State, FICA, Medicare, Unemployment, and Local taxes deducted from your pay automatically, and you will not receive typical employer payments towards these taxes.

This dynamic makes tax planning for independent contractor dentists essential. You need to maintain accurate records, establish a tax plan, and process required tax payments year-round to receive the benefits of being an independent contractor.
