<prompt> Human: So I need to do some expensive home remodeling and work. just for nice round numbers, lets say 30 tax rate and spending 10k. In order for me to pay contractors 10k, I need to earn 14.3k in pretax income.So has anyone done something similar where they start their own company and then you hire this company to do the work which then subcontracts the labor -- and use this as a vehicle to save on taxes somehow?Just trying to brainstorm and spitball interesting methods here.Trying to figure out how to do these repairs using pre-tax  <response>: I would probably fire my client if they came to me with this scheme. This is plain tax evasion. There is no true business purpose with your LLC. No deductions for you.
