  • What is your small business on the side?

    Physicians employed by a hospital and limited to $18k/year in 401k (plus $5.5k in backdoor Roth contributions) are frequently handcuffed with a lot of taxable investments. The solo 401k as obviously a very attractive option if you are able to develop a side business. For those that have done it, what are you doing for your side business? Moonlighting? Being an expert medical witness? Running your own finance blog   ?

      Moonlighting/consulting as a 1099 and also started a small private practice.  When I started one of the moonlighting gigs they wanted to do a W2, but were open to me being an independent contractor so that worked out well.

        That's a tough situation.  Many employers will offer an additional avenue to put away an additional $18,000 (such as 457(b) or 403(b)).

        On the other hand, I'm a fan of a large taxable account.  Works great for the potential early retiree like me.

        I just started a blog as a side project.  I expect it will be more of a hobby than a business.  If it does create income, I plan to use half the $ to fund my donor advised fund.

          I was going to start this same kind of thread, but you've beat me to it.  Here are a few that I've employed:

           

          Landlord/Property Manager

          Home Improvements on my Starter House

          Helping my Spouse Start a Sole Proprietership Business

           

          I'm particularly interested in ideas for non-clinical 1099 type jobs that can provide additional tax-protected space.

            Does being a landlord/property manager open up a solo 401k option? I was under the impression it did not, but I'm not sure.

              My wife is a medical director for an ICU, not otherwise employed by the hospital.  Expect other docs do nursing home directorship etc..

                Likely depends on how its structured. Just part of your normal taxes, no, but if you were to set up an llc and give yourself and income/distribution it certainly could. These arent at all related so would qualify as separate pursuits.
