In our case we farm with a family C corp and have quite a few benefits that are deductible to the company and non taxable to us...all legit.
We had two LLCs and they definitely helped pave the way to ER. We had our own company pension plan (safe harbor) and had much higher limits for retirement savings than a 1099 job alone. Plus when our kids went to college the money in the LLCs and the retirement plan didn't count against us for financial aid so the kids went to college tuition free. We also could deduct some expenses like part of our Internet service and computer costs. DH had a job with a pension during this time, and we each had a job with a pension before that. It all helped.
