| Dear List,
Is self employment income avoided with this structure? (A) Clients receive reasonable salary from a partnership, for which they work. (B) Partnership's 99% limited partner is a corporation, either S corp or C corp. (C) That Corporation then is wholly owned by clients. Corporation has no real business but to hold the investment in the partnership, and shareholders' receive nominal salary. (D) the 1% General Partner is a grantor trust whose beneficiaries are the client Isn't the SE taxable income eliminated on the profits left in the partnership? | |

| Absolutely correct. Basically any 1099 I/C who doesn't do this is paying taxes unnecessarily. | |

| you avoid SE tax, but pay Corp tax.
then pay tax again when $ is taken out of corp. is that smart? | |

| And think of the legal and accounting fees! When all you needed to do was bifurcate the LLC interest. Geez. I use that word intentionally so that you can search on it and find the link. There's an easy way out. Yours ain't it. | |
