Many physicians are under the misunderstanding that they can reduce their liability and lower their taxes by incorporating.
What they do not understand is that malpractice liability is always personal, and incorporating doesn’t protect against it. In addition, there are very few business deductions that a corporation can take that a sole proprietor cannot.
It doesn’t take anything to be a sole proprietor other than receiving earned income on a 1099 form.
A sole proprietor can even open an individual 401(k), although he will need to spend 2 minutes obtaining a free Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS before doing so.
