It's not quite that cut and dry, but Bill's suggestion is advice best followed nonetheless.

Corporation Soles are very valid structures (Monarchs of England and the Pope have used Corp Soles) but they've been abused in the states to the point where the IRS approaches them with the prejudice of an abusive tax shelter. Not suggested for a U.S. citizen. However they can be useful to a non U.S. citizen/person and/or one who has a legitimate "ministry".

My take on it is: why even bother? There are other, BETTER solutions out there.
