Built for the business side of private practice.
TaxClover tracks HIPAA-platform fees, licensure, and supervision — and keeps your quarterly estimate steady across a private-practice caseload.
Typical therapists & private-practice clinicians: LMFT · LCSW · LPC · psychologists · counselors · group-practice contractors
Going into private practice means becoming a small business overnight: an EHR subscription, malpractice coverage, licensure across states, ongoing supervision and CEUs. TaxClover categorizes all of it by Schedule C line and keeps a live quarterly estimate so your tax payments stay as predictable as your caseload.
What therapists & private-practice clinicians write off most
TaxClover sorts each one onto the correct IRS line automatically. These are the big ones for your line of work.
EHR & practice software
SimplePractice, TherapyNotes, and other HIPAA-compliant platforms, plus telehealth and scheduling tools.
Malpractice & liability insurance
Professional liability (malpractice) coverage is a clean business-insurance deduction on Line 15.
Licensure & board fees
State license renewals, board fees, and multi-state licensure for telehealth go on taxes and licenses.
Supervision & continuing education
Clinical supervision hours, CEUs, and the trainings required to keep your license active.
Health-insurance premiums you pay for yourself are usually a personal adjustment (the self-employed health-insurance deduction), not a Schedule C expense. TaxClover keeps them separate so you don't double-count.
Everything a therapists & private-practice clinician needs to stay tax-ready
- A live quarterly estimate — federal, SE, and your state
- Schedule C expense tracking across all 22 IRS lines
- Mileage logging at the 2026 rate of 72.5¢/mile
- Receipt scanning that drafts a categorized expense
- 1099-NEC tracking and reconciliation by client
- A year-end bundle ready for your CPA or TurboTax
One plan, $19/mo or $190/yr. TaxClover doesn't file your taxes and isn't a substitute for a CPA — it makes sure you're ready for both.
Therapists & private-practice clinicians tax questions
Are client no-shows deductible?+
No — a missed-session fee you never collected was never income, so there's nothing to deduct. You simply don't report income you didn't receive.
Is my supervision deductible?+
Clinical supervision required to maintain your license and skills is a deductible professional expense. TaxClover puts it on Line 27b.
Can TaxClover store client information?+
No — TaxClover tracks your business finances, not clinical records. We never store client names or PHI; keep that in your HIPAA-compliant EHR.
