Hi, I understand that as a dentist running your own dental practice, you are required to pay a match on your social security tax and half of their medicare tax. Your also supposed to pay an unemployment tax for them. This is on top of your own federal/state income taxes and payroll taxes. Is this correct? Seems like your losing a ton off your income.
