Credits have been adjusted, exemptions and tax bracket have altered, making it the perfect time to take a step back and look at your finances before the end of the fourth quarter.

Few see doctors as business people, and few doctors will admit to being businessmen, but the reality is that those who do operate their own practices, must find a balance between caring for their patients and running a service-based business. Even some of those doctors employed by hospitals or other medical facilities will be required to make important financial decisions. There are some tax tips that can just as easily apply to the professionals involved with other people’s taxes, as to the taxpayer themselves, and both parties are more than capable of succumbing to the stress that often accompanies tax season.
