3) Your business can take a loss for 3 years from what I understand. FREE MONEY!
4) When the "business" fails and takes a loss for three years, close shop, and open (Incorporate) ANOTHER one. Rinse, repeat.
One of the Ex Maryland State Comptrollers is the CPA for a very close family member of mine and their business, and this is what my family member does.
Not advising anyone else do this, but it works for them, and is perfectly legal from what I understand.

YOU ARE RIGHT!
I can blow tons of$$ on cards and since I have sold 50% of them via my store which is a retail location I can write off ALL of my card expenses. (a ton) which is nice. I spent 48k on cards and made 14k back (all of the nice ones are still for sale and listed as inventory). The other 34k is a tax write off which helps
