What is the difference between a freelancer and an independent contractor?
Okay, that makes sense. Do freelancers and independent contractors have to follow different rules when it comes to taxes?
Yes, they do. Freelancers are classified as self-employed individuals, which means they have to file a Schedule C form with their tax returns. Meanwhile, independent contractors are generally required to fill out a Form W-9, which gets filed with the client.
