any way to eliminate the self employment tax?

I got a 1099 this year for 17k, is there any way i can avoid paying self employment tax? freakin' $2500 on top of income/medicare/fica.

that sux!

the reason i'm wondering is this line in TaxCut:

Quote:
Most people will answer Yes here, because compensation in box 7 is usually income from self-employment. Box 7 income is self-employment income if it comes from an activity you carry on regularly to make a profit.


well, i don't do this regularly.
