Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an S-Corp as an anesthesiologist?

It depends on your income and how you're paid. If you're earning 1099 income above roughly $80,000–$100,000 per year, an S-Corp election often makes sense and can save you $5,000–$15,000 or more annually in self-employment taxes. We analyze your specific situation before making any recommendation.

I work locum tenens in multiple states. Can you handle multi-state taxes?

Yes. Multi-state tax filing is common for locum tenens anesthesiologists, and we handle it regularly. We track income by state, file the required returns, and make sure you're not double-paying or missing credits.

What's the difference between working as a W-2 employee vs. a 1099 contractor as an anesthesiologist?

As a W-2 employee, your employer handles payroll taxes and you have limited deduction options. As a 1099 contractor, you're responsible for self-employment taxes — but you also have far more flexibility to deduct business expenses, contribute to retirement plans, and structure your income through an entity. Neither is automatically better; it depends on your situation.

How do I know if I'm overpaying on taxes?

The most common signs: you're 1099 and operating as a sole proprietor (no S-Corp), you're not maxing out a Solo 401(k) or SEP-IRA, or you've never had a proactive tax planning conversation mid-year. If any of those apply, there's a good chance we can reduce your bill.

Do you work with anesthesiologists outside of Texas?

Yes — Chaumont CPA Firm is a fully virtual practice and we work with anesthesiologists in all 50 states. We have a strong client base in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex but serve clients from coast to coast using secure, modern, paperless systems.

When should I reach out — before or after tax season?

 Ideally before. The biggest tax savings come from decisions made during the year, not after December 31. That said, if you're coming to us mid-year or even after filing, there's usually still room to improve your situation going forward.
