Working as Contract worker as own business
#21
As a person who ended up tearing my hair out over the complications caused by just filing for a sales tax number, I am going to say DON'T DO IT. It is worth your while to keep looking for a job where they pay you, and all the other people who get to tap into your paycheck. Trust me, unless you want to be knee deep in piddly....forget them.

I am a CPA and work with taxes a bit. One thing to remember is if they set your hours, you are an employee, not a self employed contractor. A decade ago, I was laid off at Christmas and applied at Jackson Hewitt to do tax work. They wanted to pay $6 an hour and if I stayed until April 15th, I would get a percentage of all the returns I had completed. I was in desperate need of a job, but it seemed like such a poor way to treat the employees, I did not take the job. I ended up at Accountemps and was very happy there until I got a real job. Good luck to you!
