Can a C-corp shareholder be paid as a subcontractor? I know they can take Dividends payment and be on salary but can they be paid as a subcontractor and report the income on a Schedule C?

Can? Yes. Legitimately? Maybe. https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/independent-contractor-self-employed-o... and also look at your state. California has just set new standards.

Come to Tahoe...I think we are going to be OK.  Plus I have tandem Honda generators that will run most of my office.

That only works if there are enough gas stations with power between here and there for me to fill up my tank. I think I will just sit here in the dark. We have candles. Wife & I were joking about how to light the gas stove with electric igniter. Will the toilets still flush? ... I think we can entertain ourselves. My wife will be going through withdrawal without her sewing machine.

If you are "loosing" power you need to get a little tighter. Wine?
