Single entity LLC's (one director, me) are treated *exactly* like sole
proprietorships by the IRS. However, they are still afforded the same legal
protections as a C-Corporation. It *used* to be that LLC's were treated as
partnerships, or the LLC could elect to be treated as a C-Corp for tax
purposes. Those regulations changed a few years ago.

I file a 1040, along with a Schedule C (profit/loss from business) just as
any other sole proprietorship would.

Just a side note, all of my income is produced through my LLC, so it's not
just a holding company for an aircraft. I know some people set them up that
way, but just wanted to point out that mine is not setup that way.

Absolutely.

The $800 goes directly on Schedule C of my personal tax return. My LLC
is
treated as a sole-proprietership by California because I'm the only
member.
So, I get the legal protection of a C-Corp and the paperwork ease of a
sole-proprietership.

How does that work exactly? I'm not familiar with LLC's, except
that from what I remember you can opt to have them treated as
either partnerships or corporations for tax purposes.

I don't understand how you can pass the $800 back to your individual
return unless you're treated as an S-corp for tax purposes.
