I am interested in expanding my solo art therapy practice to a group practice and looking for support to understand financial and tax structures.

If you plan on expanding with more than one owner, then your business will get classified for tax purposes as a Partnership in which case you will begin filing IRS Form 1065 and not IRS Schedule C as a sole owner of the business. Each partner will report their share of the profits (or loss) on their personal tax return. The business will issue Form K-1 to each partner for the calendar year. Partners are not paid a salary although the business may issue guaranteed payments for partners. I would also suggest that you create a partnership agreement to avoid problems down the road. Those are the quick highlights. If need to learn more, I would invest in some of the resources from NOLO > https://www.nolo.com/search?query=partnerships

I’m not interested in having a co owner, but hiring either 1099 or w-2 employees. I’m just not sure which to do for additional therapists in NYS.
