And with a sole trader self employed, THEIR TOTAL
TURNOVER IS THEIR GROSS INCOME, ****wit.

none of the rest of your even sillier **** worth
bothering with, all flushed where it belongs

That just means more SPs would form a type S corporation.
It is actually a pretty trivial thing to do. When I did it the
lawyers
charged me a few hundred bucks.

It isnt that easy with the other ones that have a very high gross
income and a much lower income for income tax purposes.

What "Other ones"?

Most obvious with stock market speculators/day traders
and property flippers etc.

If you think you will have a business or tax reason to form an "S" you
can.

But not if its gambling or speculation.

What? More BS spewing from the hole of ignorance that you've dug?

We'll see...

You're like a black hole, sucking at everything, but spewing out crap too.
A subchapter S is commonly used for real estate, which can be speculation.

But fretwell has the the 2% surtax on the corporation GROSS
so there is no point in using a subchapter S for that. In fact
you would be worse off doing that because you miss out
on the other deductions available if you do it as an individual
for the normal income tax, separate from fretwell's surtax.

For example, buying condos in a new building on the hope that they
will be worth more next year. Buying a piece of land near a proposed
new big redevelopment, like buying property in NYC where Amazon was
supposed to go. speculating that the deal will go through. That blew up.

Only because the property market blew up. It never stays blown up forever.
We've just made more than 25% a year with our rental property.

Can't do that with an S? WTF? Who says?

Having fun thrashing yet another straw man ?

They are frequently used for trading stocks, day trading, which
many would call speculation, it's not investing, that's for sure.

Yes, but with fretwells 2% on the corporation GROSS, its pointless
doing it that way to avoid paying the surtax because it doesnt.
