Virtually everyone I know who is self employed cheats on their taxes to one extent or other. Most of them consider themselves conservative and decry criminals.
Cheat is such a harsh word. Some of us have aggressive right off policies though. They wrote the rules, we just abide by them. (How many ft^2 is that home office again?)
It’s not like right offs aren’t subject to review in an audit. Being self-employed does bring tax advantages and disadvantages.
Well, it’s a good argument in favor of the FairTax...

Richard Nixon (of all people) once said that people cannot pick and choose which laws to obey. The truth is that we all do it either knowingly or unknowingly because it is impossible to be totally law-abiding in the morass of current law. The biggest lawbreaker is the government itself! The majority of government activity today is in violation of the constitution. Many scholars have concluded that the income tax itself is a violation, at best it is a very bad idea!
