Ha! Indeed.
You seem to be suggesting that it's more nuanced than it appears to me. If the LLC pays her for consulting services, she renders those services for fee - and the LLC deducts the payments as a business expense (as paid to a third-party non-employee for services) ... what would be the scenario where that isn't non-employee income in box 7 of the 1099 and not subject to SE tax for her?
Seems pretty clear to me, but I'm no tax pro.
