Tax related FAQs for dental practices
Are dental equipment purchases tax-deductible in the year of purchase?
Section 179 of the tax code allows dental practices to deduct the cost of qualifying equipment purchases in the year they were acquired, up to a certain limit. However, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has increased the limit to a substantial amount, providing potential tax advantages.
What are estimated tax payments, and do I need to make them as a dental practice owner?
Estimated tax payments are quarterly payments made to the IRS to cover income and self-employment taxes when they're not withheld from your income. Dental practice owners typically need to make these payments if they anticipate owing more than $1,000 in taxes when they file their annual return. eeping accurate records is essential to support these deductions.
What is the difference between an employee and an independent contractor for tax purposes in my dental practice?

Independent contractors, on the other hand, are responsible for their own taxes. Misclassifying workers can lead to tax penalties, so it's essential to understand the distinction.

Yes, dental practice owners may be eligible for the QBI deduction, which allows for a deduction of up to 20% of qualified business income. The eligibility and the amount of the deduction depend on various factors, so it's advisable to consult with a tax professional for guidance.
Can I set up a retirement plan for myself and my employees in my dental practice, and are there tax advantages to doing so?
