If you’re a 1099 CRNA, you’re already running a business — whether you planned to or not.

The IRS, hospitals, and courts all treat independent CRNAs like businesses. The problem? Many CRNAs go 1099 for flexibility or higher pay but keep operating like employees. That gap creates risk, higher taxes, and stress.

This episode kicks off The CRNA Business Basics Series and explains — in plain language — why an LLC matters for 1099 CRNAs.

In this episode:

• Why 1099 CRNAs are considered businesses
• The risks of working without an LLC
• How an LLC protects your personal life from business problems
• When an LLC helps with taxes (and when it doesn’t)
• Why structure = clarity, confidence, and less stress

If you’re a CRNA working independently and want to build smarter money habits, this episode is a must-listen.
