Pediatrics — Tools, Calculators, and Tax/Investing Resources for Physicians
Lower W-2, but PSLF works here — and so does smart structure.
Pediatricians have lower income than most physician peers but disproportionately good PSLF eligibility, family-medicine real estate dynamics, and AI tools for pediatric workflow. Here's the playbook for income-modest, value-rich physicians.
Built by a practicing physician-investor. All tools free unless badged otherwise.

Actually Qualifying for the 199A Deduction
Unlike surgical specialties, primary care physicians often fall UNDER the Specified Service Trade or Business phase-out threshold ($383,900 married filing jointly in 2024). Strategic adjusted-gross-income management — HSA, max 401(k), spousal IRA — keeps you eligible for the 20% qualified business income deduction.
-
Solo 401(k) for 1099 Side Income
Primary care burnout drives many to telemedicine, consulting, or medical directorships. Funnel that 1099 income into a Solo 401(k) — up to $69,000 (2024) in pre-tax contributions on top of your W-2 401(k).
-
PSLF for Non-Profit-Employed Primary Care Physicians
Family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics at non-profit hospitals or academic centers have the cleanest Public Service Loan Forgiveness eligibility profile in medicine. Annual Employment Certification Form filings lock in qualifying months.
-
Direct Primary Care Tax Structure
Direct Primary Care (membership-based, cash-pay primary care) income may qualify for the 20% QBI deduction as a non-SSTB business in some structures. Specialty-specific entity setup matters.
Universal Physician Tax Strategies
These apply across most specialties — high earners in any clinical field benefit.
-
The SALT Deduction Cap & Where You Buy Real Estate
The state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap of $10,000 is one of the most consequential decisions for physicians in California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Tied directly to where you buy a primary residence vs. invest in real estate out-of-state for depreciation.
-
Charitable Bunching & Donor-Advised Funds
The 2017 tax reform doubled the standard deduction and made annual charitable giving less tax-efficient for most. Bunch 3 to 5 years of giving into a single year via a Donor-Advised Fund to clear the itemization threshold and maximize the deduction.
-
Investment Interest Expense Deduction
Borrowing to fund a real estate syndication, surgery center buy-in, or other partnership-distribution generator? The interest may qualify as deductible investment interest expense against passive income — often missed.
These are educational summaries, not tax advice. Specialty-specific structures interact with your overall income, state, partnership terms, and personal situation — work with a physician-focused CPA before structuring. Find a CPA →
