My firm pays contract partners using a K-1. Is that normal? The taxes are crazy - we have offices in so many states and with the cap on the SALT deduction it is awful. Also do firms provide matching 401k for contract partners? I am at an Amlaw 200 firm (not Biglaw) for comparison purposes. I’m not trying to compare to the really high end firms. Just trying to figure out if I’m getting as raw a deal as it seems.

Am at a AmLaw 100 and we pay all partners, whether equity or contract on a K-1 as well and agree it’s a killer

Same here. Everyone on k-1

I'm at AmLaw 100 and a couple years ago my firm moved away from K-1s to W-2 for non-equity partners for this reason. Base salary I understand went down though so I think it ended up being a wash for us.

The K-1 is normal for all partners, contract or not. The SALT deduction, IMO, is BS because it subsidizes high tax states.

and the federal government otherwise generally subsidizes low-tax states, which is also BS

Does that mean no SS retirement accumulating for years worked as a k1 partner?

Thanks for that info!!

I am working with a loan agent for a mortgage account. Per the agent, I will get a credit of 1000$ once I open the checking account. It should cover the loan application fee and commitment fee. (1100$)
Here’s the catch — the account has a 24$ monthly maintenance fee. And that gets waived with the mortgage.

I wonder what would happen if I refinance.
