    Full Event Description:

    What does it mean to be an independent contractor? It is so much more than just getting to work and collecting a check. Many people don't understand the implications of being self-employed, what they may need to do, or how to do it. This presentation is to inform and educate you about how being a freelancer means that you are running your own business and the issues that you need to consider and attend to.

    Disclaimer: This is intended to be a general guide. The presenters are not attorneys, accountants, or tax advisors. Every effort has been made to offer current and accurate information, but errors can occur. We assume no liability for errors, omissions, or information that may be different in your area or change over time. References to certain laws, regulations, and practices may change over time and should be interpreted only in light of particular circumstances. Information is presented “as is” with no guarantees of completeness, accuracy, or timeliness. Please consider the appropriateness of any information for you and your business. Please consult your attorneys, CPAs, business advisors, or tax advisors with questions or when making business or legal decisions. No portion of this is to be construed, under any circumstances, as legal advice!

    When selecting advisors, be sure they are familiar with current state and federal independent contractor law.
