The “personhood penalty”
—
The gap is the cost of being a person instead of a corporation. A C-corp deducts everything that serves the business. You pay personal tax on gross income, then spend after-tax dollars on most of this same list. The workaround: push as much legitimate activity as possible through JoyDev LLC — the IRS will meet you halfway on the real business stuff.
Bring on the windmills.
