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)
