If you’re an S Corp, the ability to max out the Solo 401K on less income allows you to declare more of your income a dividend (and thus less as salary) saving you even more in Medicare tax. (I wouldn’t recommend trying to get your income low enough as a physician that you’re going to save any Social Security tax.)
