Working as a 1099 CRNA brings financial responsibilities that differ from traditional W2 employment. Many CRNAs are moved into contractor roles based on staffing changes, which adds new requirements for taxes, quarterly payments, and expense tracking. Accolade Accounting helps CRNAs understand these changes and stay organized.
CRNAs working under 1099 contracts face tax and reporting requirements that do not apply to W2 roles. Income management, deductions, and quarterly tax payments become part of your regular workflow. Accolade Accounting helps CRNAs understand what needs to be tracked and how to maintain accurate records throughout the year.
We work with CRNAs in various practice settings and understand the IRS rules that apply to this profession. When you work with us, you receive clear steps for staying compliant and avoiding common mistakes.
