As Seen In

"As a CPA married to a physician, I know firsthand the unique anxiety of six-figure debt, the complexity of the income spike in your thirties and the frustration of being sold to by financial gurus and CPAs who don't understand your unique situation. Taxstra exists to give physician families the specialized tax planning that other firms don't offer."

Physician Tax Planning by Career Stage
Select yours to see the specific strategies and potential savings we implement for you.
New Attending
First 1–5 Years Post-Training · Typical Annual Savings: $15k – $50k / yr
The jump from $65k to $350k+ creates the highest-risk tax year of your career. Your first attending contract — whether W-2, 1099, or a mix — sets the structure for everything that follows.
Key Insight: A new attending earning $400k in 1099 locums income who elects S-Corp status with proper reasonable compensation analysis can save $18,000–$25,000 per year in self-employment tax alone — before any retirement plan contributions or other deductions.
You've learned that high earners need to use the Backdoor Roth since direct contributions phase out. You may have read about setting up a micro-corporation for 1099 income. We handle the S-Corp election, reasonable compensation analysis, payroll setup, and make sure your retirement plan stacking is maximized from day one.
