On Point CRNA

12/02/2025

A focused, no fluff session for contract and locum CRNAs who want to cut taxes, boost savings, and button up their business before the ball drops.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

Step 1 — Lock in your tax picture: How to estimate Q4 taxes, hit safe‑harbor targets, and avoid April surprises (plus when a last‑minute payment actually helps).

Step 2 — Max the right retirement bucket: Solo 401(k) vs. SEP IRA for 1099 CRNAs, employee vs. employer contributions, Roth vs. pre‑tax, and the 12/31 payroll nuance most folks miss.

Step 3 — Dial in your entity & payroll: When an S‑Corp makes sense, what “reasonable salary” really means, and the year‑end accountable plan reimbursements that put money back in your pocket tax‑free.

Step 4 — Optimize benefits you control: HSA timing, deductible health premiums as self‑employed, and the short list on disability and malpractice coverage that actually matters.

Step 5 — Capture deductions & close the books: Home office, mileage, CE/CME, scrubs/equipment, §179/bonus depreciation basics, QBI (199A) pitfalls for clinicians, and a simple year‑end bookkeeping checklist.

You’ll walk away with actionable insights you can implement right away—whether you’re working W-2, 1099, or a mix of both.

Who should attend?

This isn’t your average tax talk. In just 60 minutes, you’ll discover:

Contract, locum, or travel CRNAs paid on 1099

W‑2 CRNAs with a 1099 side gig

New grads who went 1099 out of the gate

CRNAs with S-Corps: here are six missed opportunities I’m seeing on repeat, straight from a real client case study we fixed before year-end.

1) “Reasonable comp” set above the Social Security wage base (unnecessary F**A)
2) Solo 401(k) missing after-tax + in-plan Roth (mega backdoor)
3) Old IRA blocking the regular backdoor Roth (no reverse rollover)
4) Health insurance + HSA not run through payroll for >2% owners
5) $500 auto-enrollment plan credit (for 3 years) not claimed
6) No cash balance plan despite high savings goals

If you’re a 1099 CRNA with an S-Corp, let’s coordinate your tax + planning now so December 31 doesn’t sneak up. Comment “REVIEW” and I’ll DM you.

💉💼 CRNAs: Ever wonder if 1099 work really beats W-2?
We ran the numbers, and even with a conservative $150/hour rate… it’s not even close.

Our latest CRNA case study compares two identical schedules — 36 hours a week — and shows how a simple shift in structure added $32,143 to annual net income.
Even after giving up a 403(b) match and 7 weeks PTO, the 1099 route still won.
The higher the hourly rate? The bigger the gap.

👉 Swipe through the carousel to see:
• The exact assumptions we used
• Full W-2 vs. Full 1099 results
• Hybrid scenarios
• Why 1099 wins (and when it might not)

Even God Would Get Fired.
Because no matter how perfect the strategy is—if it feels wrong in the moment, most investors bail.

In this week’s post, I unpack what a legendary study tells us about investing with discipline… even when it hurts. Spoiler: skill isn’t enough—you need staying power.

If you’re a CRNA trying to build long-term wealth in the real world—not the textbook—this one’s for you.
