If you want that it's easy, just ask for a 1099 or corp-to-corp arrangement during the interview process. Corp-to-corp can be a real bonanza. You pay yourself about 60% of the income and structure the rest as capital gains on stock in your own company. It removes 40% of your pay from FICA. Don't pay yourself less than 60% or the IRS will start to hassle you. You get the added benefit of using the standard deduction on your personal tax return and getting itemized deductions on your corporate tax return.
