I would love to hear from sole member LLC/small business/self-employed nurses.

What are you doing? Why? What do you hate? What do you wish you were doing? Why?

I really love what I do every day, but when I look at how much I have to set aside for taxes, travel and business operating expenses, and how much we pay for family health insurance ($1,850/mo) now that I am not carrying family insurance with a regular job, I want to cry.

(Can you tell I've been wallowing in tax documentation for the last two weeks?)

Anyone who would like to commiserate, give encouragement or give me a kick in the pants, please weigh in.

Thanks!

I still work two days a week as a nurse to keep health insurance. Yet I just learned about something that could work. I am not a lawyer or accountant. But ask an accountant about how to structure expenses in terms of it being payment to a family member who is classified as an employee. This employee must actually do work and have time sheets.The work can be something such as managaing your calender or picking up dry cleaning, personal assitant job description or such. You may wish to check with an HR person as well. But an Accountant who works with small businesses would be familiar with this.
