Re: private practice deduction when also salaried in the same field

Great question.

What I tend to see is that people with a private practice first deduct the directly related income - such as rent, supervision, and malpractice insurance - directly against the private practice income. Next, they deduct additional professional expenses that apply to both their salaried job and their private practice - such as conferences, licensing, and perhaps a home office - against their private practice income as well as long as these expenses don't cause the Schedule C for the private practice to show a loss.

Hope this answers your question.
