    How to Tax Plan as a Dentist? Pt 2 - Vegas National Dental Assoc. Convention | Episode 34 | Season 2

    Recorded live at the National Dental Association conference in Las Vegas, Kingsley Ifedi, CPA delves into advanced tax strategies and financial tips designed to help dental professionals build and sustain generational wealth. Don't miss out on this valuable session! 🎧🎥 Click to Listen & Watch the Podcast on Apple, Spotify, Youtube and All Other Platforms: https://linktr.ee/GenerationalDentalWealth 🙋 Interested in Being a Guest? Email us hello@teamfinancials.com -- Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode: 1. Accelerated Depreciation: Leveraging accelerated depreciation can significantly reduce taxable income. For instance, by purchasing and placing equipment like a CBCT machine into service before year-end, a dentist was able to take a substantial tax deduction, saving $50,000 in the first year alone. 2. Cost Segregation Studies: These studies are crucial for maximizing tax deductions on property. By allocating a property's purchase price into various components, short-life assets like furniture and fixtures can be depreciated more quickly, providing immediate tax savings. 3. Optimizing Vehicle Deductions: Dentists can choose between the mileage method or the actual expense method for deducting vehicle costs. The actual expense method allows for depreciation and all related costs to be deducted based on the percentage of business use, potentially leading to larger tax savings. 4. 1099 Income Benefits: Dentists who generate 1099 income can unlock additional tax strategies. For example, a dentist earning $50,000 in 1099 income with $75,000 in expenses could create a $25,000 loss, which can offset W-2 income, potentially leading to a refund. 5. Tax Planning for Asset Accumulation: Proper tax planning is essential for long-term wealth accumulation. By saving tax dollars today and investing them in appreciating assets, dentists can significantly increase their retirement savings, potentially accumulating millions over a few decades.
