Why Anesthesiologists Work With Us
Anesthesiologists often come to us after years of working with a generalist CPA who didn’t understand locum tenens income, didn’t know to ask about S-Corp elections, and filed a perfectly accurate return that was thousands of dollars more than it needed to be.
We understand the financial landscape specific to anesthesiology — the shift from residency to attending income, the complexity of multi-state 1099 work, the opportunity to dramatically reduce self-employment taxes with the right structure, and the short runway to build serious wealth before the career winds down.
Whether you’re fresh out of residency and setting up your finances for the first time, or you’ve been practicing for years and suspect you’re overpaying, we’ll give you a straight answer and a clear plan.
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.
