Talk to Us →Tax & Finance Angles for Physical Medicine & Rehab
Specialty-specific tax and investing topics that apply directly to Physical Medicine & Rehab practice economics. Not generic 'physician tax tips' — these are calibrated to your specialty's actual income mix, equipment requirements, and practice ownership reality.
Office-Based Lab Ownership & Partnership Distributions
Pain medicine and procedural specialty office-based labs run on the same partnership distribution mechanics as interventional radiology and surgical centers. Passive vs. active participation rules (IRC §469) determine tax treatment.
Section 179 on Fluoroscopy and Procedural Equipment
Fluoroscopy, radiofrequency ablation generators, ablation systems, ultrasound — heavy equipment qualifies for immediate expensing under Section 179 plus bonus depreciation.
PropCo/OpCo Real Estate Split
Own the procedure suite through a separate LLC (the property company). Lease back to the operating practice. Cost segregation + bonus depreciation against partnership income from procedures.
199A QBI Phase-Out Awareness
Procedural pain and Physical Medicine & Rehab partners typically exceed the Specified Service Trade or Business threshold. Real estate and equipment depreciation are the levers.
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 →
