The better practice, when negotiating a physician employment agreement, would be to NOT automatically assume, in laying out the effect of termination, that termination without cause means the employee is without fault. Instead, the employer would be better served in taking a more hard-line approach. For example:
If you are single and under age 65, you can earn up to $9,499 in a year and not file a tax return. Should you be 65 or older, you could earn up to $10,949 and be exempt from filing a federal tax return. However, you may qualify for an Earned Income Tax Credit, which is refundable in cash to you. Also, if you've had income taxes withheld, you should file to receive a refund of your money. Married Taxpayers Filing Jointly If both married taxpayers are under 65, they can earn up to $18,999 and not need to file a return.
If you file as married filing joint or as a qualifying widow(er) your income must be less than $183,000 to contribute up to the limit. If your income falls between $183,000 and $193,000 you cannot contribute up to the limit. Your contribution is reduced.f you file as single, head of household, or married filing separately (if you did not live with your spouse at any time during the year) your income must be less than $116,000 to contribute up to the limit. If your income falls between $116,000 and $131,000 you cannot contribute up to the limit.
