A single anesthesiologist with W-2 income of $450,000 and receiving a K-1 from minority ownership in two medical related entities with an additional $100,000 of income being passed through. The doctor had zero deductions available due to various phase-outs, and limited options to make corporate level changes to plan for taxes, and was paying over $150,000 each year to the government.
