Someone, somewhere said that the number for a medical transcriptionist for tax purposes was 319094. Is this correct? I am not the one who originally posted this information, but that is the number I wrote down when it was posted. Jayni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 Re: Taxes From AAMT home page. Visit it. Aliceanne Medical transcriptionists have finally achieved a separate job classification. The revised Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), published by the Office of Management and Budget, includes a separate line item 31-9094 for medical transcriptionists in the general arena of health care. This is something AAMT has been promoting since its inception over 20 years ago. In the previous (1980) SOC document, medical transcriptionists were grouped with court reporters and stenographers under " Clerical and Other Administrative Support Occupations. " This separate classification is truly noteworthy. Having an ID number, medical transcriptionists can now be studied like any other occupation. Statistics can be gathered on numbers of MTs, salaries, etc. The document is posted on the Bureau of Labor Statistic's Web page at http://stats.bls.gov/soc/soc_home.htm. The Department of Labor's Revision Policy Committee relied heavily on information from the O*NET (Occupational Information Network) study that was conducted in early 1998 and to which AAMT members responded in great numbers. The O*NET project was overwhelmed by the response from medical transcriptionists and received more offers to participate than they could use.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2001 Report Share Posted February 8, 2001 I'm sorry but I beg to differ. I used to prepare taxes for my job, although I do not claim expert opinion. The below-mentioned information from AAMT does not mention anything to do with filing your tax return is based on the Standard Occupational Classification. I have just looked in my 2000 1040 Taypayer instructions for Schedule C and the Principal Business or Professional Activity Codes are based on the North American Industry Classification System NOT the SOC. To further prove my point there is no such number as 319094 listed anywhere in the Activity Codes list in the 2000 Schedule C instructions Business Codes list. Maybe someday the IRS will adopt the SOC classifications but for now I think you are asking to have your 1040 return held up due to the IRS needing to send you a letter asking you to state a business code it accepts. I personally am using 561410 - document preparation services, as I feel this best describes of all the codes listed in the 1040 instructions what I do as a medical transcriptionist. My 2 cents anyway. Bev Walhof > Medical transcriptionists have finally achieved a separate job > classification.
