my bad, ill explain... its an LLC, sole perp, so everything pass down to me... thats why i see any type of deductions as the same thing... i do import/export so things come in and out of the port of los angeles directly (USA warehouses hold my stuff and ship it out to asian clients when i want, so never comes to me and vis versa, taiwan/shanghai warehouses hold my stuff and ship it here direct to clients)... because office never sees the actual goods, it is considered interstate commerce, side step los angeles city business tax and sales/use tax... all i really pay are state and federal taxes passed through to my 1040... i do have to pay VAT occasionally though, but 90% of the time its the clients that pay it... the majority of my expenses is just stocking the office with office supplies and traveling... im pretty loyal to a few airlines, online booking sites, and online office supply stores anyways so i was thinking id just book a bunch of online credits/gift credits with extended expiration dates in advance and i can easily pay for future office supplies and traveling NOW for the next 3-4 years and have my 1040 at net 10-20k for that given year (im thinking this if they are looking for net income)... if that doesnt work i can always just have my relatives companies bill my clients instead and i can bill them for that additional income sometime later on after i qualify (im thinking this will be the alternative if they are looking at gross income)... im sure there is better ways to do this... but this just the top of my head... i still havent gotten over the max 3k... sigh..

not a problem... ill just hold off on some of my business supplies or stock up for the next 3-4 years in advance rather than do it quarterly... 35k is easy dude... if push comes to shove i think i can do 10k for 2 years... maybe even 3... just takes a bit of planning...
or do they look at gross business income and not net business?... if gross i might be fucked...
now you are conflating (ive always wanted to use that word, not sure if did use it properly) two things, business income/loss and personal trading. I assume you dont own your own trading business/fund so therefore are two separate things. Although if your business is an LLC/S Corp the your business income/loss flows down to you.
