Nolo Working as an Independent Contractor

Product Description

It takes more than chutzpah and good skills to succeed as an independent contractor. You need solid legal information, especially when taxes are concerned, and a trusty plan for getting everything in writing.

"Working as an Independent Contractor" contains all the basic forms and agreements you need to thrive as an independent contractor. It includes:

a complete independent contractor agreement, along with detailed step-by-step instructions on how to fill it out
sample invoices
a contract amendment form
two crucial IRS forms no independent contractor should be without

This eFormKit also outlines eight simple steps you can take to dodge being reclassified as an employee by the IRS and other hard-hitting government agencies.

Software: Before you can use a Nolo eFormKit, additional software must be installed:
To expand the ZIP archive you download after making your purchase, you'll need:

A decompression utility such as the following, both of which can be downloaded for free:
- 7-Zip (for Windows users).
- StuffIt Expander (for Macintosh). Please note: Many recently manufactured Macs have a native capability to decompress zip files. See your computer's user manual for verification of this and instructions for access.

To open and print an eFormKit, you need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 or greater, or another program that "reads" PDF (portable document format) files.

To open, fill out and print word-processing forms included in an eFormKit, you need a word processor that "reads" RTF (rich text format) files:

Windows XP & Vista both come with WordPad, an RTF-compatible word processor.
Macintosh OS X comes with TextEdit, an RTF-compatible word processor; non-OS X users need Word 5.0 or greater, WordPerfect 2.1 or greater, or another RTF-compatible word processor.
