@originaldohnthornton: If you’re getting paid on a 1099, you’re getting crushed. Doesn’t matter if you take it personally, through an LLC, or even an S corp… it’s still taxable income. And most 1099 earners don’t have enough deductions to offset it—so Uncle Sam takes a huge bite. Then you add in entity costs—bookkeeping, tax prep, annual fees—and you’re paying even more just to stay compliant… all while being fully visible in public records. Smart operators are switching to a contract law spendthrift business trust—no taxable events, no unnecessary entity costs, and real privacy. Same income… completely different outcome. 🛡️📉💰(info purposes only; not a licensed tax, legal, or accounting professional) #taxsavings #taxreduction #taxdeductions #1099
