FAQ
1099 NP Questions
What is a 1099 NP position?
A 1099 NP works as an independent contractor rather than a W2 employee. You receive a 1099-NEC tax form instead of a W-2. You set your own schedule, pay your own taxes (including self-employment tax), and provide your own benefits. In exchange, you typically earn higher gross pay than comparable W2 positions.
How much do 1099 NPs earn compared to W2?
1099 rates are quoted gross and usually run meaningfully higher than comparable W2 hourly rates, because no benefits or employer payroll taxes are attached. After accounting for self-employment tax (15.3%), health insurance, malpractice coverage, and retirement contributions, net take-home is often closer to W2 pay than the headline rate suggests — model both before accepting an offer.
What are the tax advantages of 1099 NP work?
1099 NPs can deduct business expenses including home office, mileage, professional development, malpractice insurance, health insurance premiums, retirement plan contributions (SEP-IRA or Solo 401k), technology/equipment, and professional memberships. These deductions can significantly reduce taxable income.
Should new grad NPs take 1099 positions?
We generally recommend new grads start with W2 positions that offer mentorship, malpractice coverage, and benefits. 1099 work requires clinical confidence, business management skills, and financial discipline. Most NPs transition to 1099 after 2-3 years of experience when they can negotiate better rates and manage the business aspects.
What do 1099 NPs need to set up?
1099 NPs should: 1) Form an LLC or PLLC for liability protection, 2) Get individual malpractice insurance, 3) Set up a business bank account, 4) Obtain an EIN from the IRS, 5) Register for quarterly estimated tax payments, 6) Open a SEP-IRA or Solo 401k, 7) Secure health insurance through the marketplace or spouse's plan.
