If you are working as a contractor and make above a certain wage it can be worth it to setup your own LLC/S-corp. I did it one year at the advice of my CPA and it immediately knocked off 30% of my AGI. Lowered my pass thru income and tax liability. Saved me many thousands over 20 years. Its what every corporation in America does.

Yes. You may have seen the movies but the books are works of art. I still don’t think I’ve read a better written book in my life. The hobbit is especially fun to read.

I still love Illustrator and Fusion360. I’ve been using AI since 1995! When F360 came out solidworks was at its lowest for reliability and I was constantly losing work. They cost money but the revenue both provide me makes those costs a rounding error at most.
