What are your thoughts on realistic returns from the S & P 500?
I have always just played it safe and calculated all potential returns at 8%. Dave Ramsey seems to think 10-12% which is theoretically correct based on history but I don't believe he is telling the whole story with those numbers. After inflation, fees, and taxes can you still be at 9% per year long term? Or, can you explain to me what numbers are realistic and how you calculated them? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

1099 vs. W-2

1099 Taxes
Hey all, new to the locums game (1 month to be exact) and therefore new to the 1099 taxes game... I've tried doing my research on this but the most I can find is one should try to pay their taxes quarterly, the amount being based on documents that I don't have. Yes, I will be consulting with an accountant in the future; but, as September 15 is looming ever closer, figured I'd curbside some other 1099 people who were also once new. Thank you in advance! Bonus question: where do you set... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Effective tax rate?
What are peoples effective tax rates including state, local, federal, etc? I’ll probably be making decent money starting next year as an attending and wondering how to shield my income? I’ll be working as a 1099 not sure if that’s more beneficial than a w2? If you could post your gross income then what you pay in taxes to give me an idea of what’s a good tax rate?

Overhead/PP True Income Questions
Hey guys, I’m a CA-3 looking for jobs for the start of 2023. It has been very difficult to compare incomes between private practices as some include retirement contributions and others do not, there’s a lot that comes off the top, etc. The most frequent issue I’ve come across is determining what a fair amount of that “off the top” is - I’ve found some people pay up to 10% of their income to “billing expenses” then have to pay their own payroll taxes, insurances, contribute to their own...

How long would It take for a new dentist to pay off their student debt?
Let's say that after one graduates and gets an entry level dental job. They owe 600k (a bit of a gross exaggeration) in debt but also has the typical salary of 100k after taxes. What kind of interest are we looking at for the debt and how long will it take a graduate to pay off said debt? I am mainly unaware of the interest rate but I do know that it immediately begins when the loan is taken out, during school. Realistically speaking, would becoming a military dentist really put a dent in... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

CASPer Scenario For Discussion #31
The corporate tax rate allows corporations to be taxed less than individuals get taxed on their personal income. Those against the concept of corporate taxes being lower argue that it propagates class differences between the upper classes (who typically own corporations) and the lower classes. Those in favor of the idea argue that this allows for business development in the economy and so everyone benefits from it at the end of the day.​ What is your opinion on this...

How to aggressively save/invest and avoid taxes?
Hi 👋 I am looking for financial advices to squeeze as much 💰 as possible, and possibly FIRE... I got multiple contract opportunities for remote jobs, and very possibly double my current salary in a few months, with total comp >= 500k/yr. I have maxed out 401k and HSA. I have two real estate properties worth 2M in total, one for rental income and another one for myself. No student loan debt, only ~1.0-1.1M mortgage.

paying 50% tax on additional income worth it?
A few examples below for married couples net income after federal,state and local taxes. in a midwest state 400k --> after tax 277k 500k--> after tax 335k 600k--> after tax 390k Does the idea that even if we bust our tail and generate an extra 100k, at these income levels, your going to see roughly half of it go to uncle sam. Does this bother or kill the desire to do this for many of you unless there was some unexpected need for it? For me its an eye opener that it becomes this way...

W2 vs 1099?
I know I’ve asked this question before but now I have a specific question. If I am offered two jobs— one W2 and the other 1099 — and if the W2 job is per diem without benefits — then do I consider the two jobs the same if they both pay $250 per hour? Or are taxes higher with one and not the other? Any other expenses with 1099? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How do schools determine if you ’re in state or out of state?
Hey guys! This is been a super confusing question that I haven’t been able to receive a straight answer. BACKGROUND: I’m married and therefore independent from my parents taxes which means I cannot claim their residence as my own. Because of this, I went and got myself a license in the state that I study in, became a “resident” (I think?) and end of story. Since the application just opened up, I see that schools ask for a current address and a permanent address. That’s it. No license... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Are W-2 physicians being suckered?
“If You’re Getting a W-2, You’re a Sucker” There are many differences between the rich and the rest of us, but one of the most consequential for your taxes is whether most of your income comes from wages. www.propublica.org "Under the current system, said John Sabelhaus, a former Federal Reserve economist and one of the study’s authors, “if you’re getting a W-2, you’re a sucker.” This basic divide is also apparent in how tax laws are enforced.
