Are you working relief shifts as a self-employed vet—or thinking about it? In this Q&A episode, I answer some of the most common questions that came up when I recently asked the Debt-Free Vets Facebook group: “Self-employed relief vets—what financial questions do you have?” From choosing the right business structure to navigating taxes, retirement savings, and health insurance, we cover the essentials (and the often-overlooked details) that can make or break your financial confidence as a relief vet.

Key topics:

• Do you need an LLC or PLLC to do relief work?
• Why getting an EIN can protect your privacy
• How to separate business and personal finances (and why it matters)
• Pros and cons of a Solo 401(k) vs. SEP IRA
• Navigating quarterly taxes
• Common tax write-offs for relief vets
