Publisher's Synopsis
The all-in-one legal and tax resource every independent contractor and gig worker needs
Whether you're starting a full-scale consulting business or booking gigs on the side, Working for Yourself provides all the legal and tax information you need in one place.

This excellent, well-organized reference will also show you how to:
- decide the best form for your business (sole proprietor, LLC, or other)
- make sure you're paid in full and on time
- pay estimated taxes and avoid trouble with the IRS
- take advantage of all available tax deductions, including the 20% pass-through tax deduction for business owners
- choose health, property, and other kinds of insurance
- keep accurate records in case you get audited, and
- write legally binding contracts and letter agreements.
If you're tired of doing endless web searches for the information you need to start and run your business, this easy-to-use and authoritative resource is for you.
