Getting patients to dialysis, therapy, and appointments is contractor work with healthcare-grade compliance costs to match.
Non-emergency medical transport drivers who contract with brokers or operate independently report income on Schedule C and pay self-employment tax on the net.
Because you carry patients, your costs include not just the vehicle but the certifications, cleaning, and accessibility equipment the work requires.
Income you’ll report on: 1099-NEC.
Most people in this line of work leave money on the table. Here's what we make sure to capture:
If you earn as an independent contractor, yes — self-employment tax is 15.3% (Social Security and Medicare) on your net profit, on top of regular income tax. You deduct half of it, and every business deduction lowers what you owe. We handle the calculation on Schedule SE.
Common write-offs include actual vehicle expenses or standard mileage for the qualifying vehicle, wheelchair lifts, ramps, and securement systems and their upkeep, commercial and for-hire passenger insurance, background checks, fingerprinting, and driver certifications, plus a share of your phone and any home-office use. We go through your year line by line so nothing legitimate gets missed.
If you expect to owe $1,000 or more for the year, the IRS generally wants quarterly estimated payments to avoid an underpayment penalty. We calculate them so next April isn't a surprise.
Yes. Your income is taxable whether or not a client or platform sent a 1099. We report it correctly and offset it with every deduction you qualify for.
