About Shawn

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions CRNAs ask

Do I need to file a return in every state I work in?

Often you file in your home state and in each state where you earned income, but the rules differ from state to state. Figuring out which returns you need is part of preparing your taxes.

How much should I set aside from my 1099 pay?

It depends on your total income, your deductions and the states you work in. A tax projection gives you a number to plan around.

Can you help if I have both W-2 and 1099 income?

Yes. Having W-2 and 1099 income in the same year is common for CRNAs, and Shawn can help with both.

Do I have to live in Philadelphia?

No. Southpaw is based in Philadelphia and serves clients nationwide.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your situation and the work involved. Shawn will go over the fee during your free consultation.
