Presented by: Mr. Seth Thompson

Understanding how to manage your taxes proactively can lead to smarter financial decisions and long-term savings. Join MDDS for the NEW Financial Wellness Webinar Series. In this no-cost webinar, Mr. Seth Thompson will demystify the basics of tax planning – what it is, why it matters and how it differs from tax preparation. You’ll gain practical knowledge of common deductions, tax timelines, and strategic concepts that can help you maximize your income and minimize your tax liability. Whether you’re a W-2 employee or a self-employed dental professional (or both), this session is designed to help you feel more confident navigating your financial future.

1. Differentiate between tax planning and tax preparation and identify when and how to engage in each.
2. Explain the differences between above-the-line and below-the-line deductions and how they impact your tax plan.
3. Recognize common deductions available to dental professionals and understand eligibility criteria.
4. Identify simple tax planning strategies to help optimize your taxes
