      I realize I haven't provided a lot of detail. I don't necessarily have a lot so far. Just a few minute conversation re: are you interested/should we discuss further. I did say yes to a further discussion of what they need but haven't yet had the next conversation.

      Just trying to make sure I'm not bungling things too horribly at an early stage.

      For some reason I was not thinking of the option to work as a freelance employee, that seems like it is probably a good approach for this situation.

        Should I be looking at setting up a business entity even for a one off job?

        In my opinion, yes. It'll already be in place for the next one-off job you have.

            Why over or under $600/year?

              It a valuation to see if it's worth setting up a business, getting insured etc.

                Personal liability vs Business liability, essentially.

                  That's when the US assesses taxes on third party labour.

                    Most likely just the cost of getting a LLC started on average. Insurance is not a big concern.

                      That as well. In most states, minimal LLC cost is in the ~$600 vicinity. Plus some annual costs. In Texas it is $650. Some states are low like $300. But if you are earning around $600 one time, you don't want it all to go to incorporation.

                      Insurance definitely not viable in this range (if any.)

                        Pretty sure this isn't true. My tax guy told me you are required to declare all taxes, but as a 1099 employee (freelance contractor) the company isn't required to give you a 1099 (i.e. tell the government about them paying you) until they pay you $600 or more.

                          You are correct, you are supposed to manually report that. It just isn't reported on paperwork automatically.

                            And you have rule followers like me that report all of my LLC's income even if it didn't receive its 1099 form.

                              Filing to create an LLC in CO appears to be $50. Based on some previous statements I was expecting it to be more. Are there typically extra steps that will bump up the cost or are we just cheap?

                                Georgia is cheap. I'm pretty sure my annual registration is around $50. The initial registration was $100 maybe.

                                    Wow, that's super cheap. What's the annual cost.

                                      Yeah. And I confirmed, the annual registration is $50. I do recall the initial registration (business formation) being a little more.

                                        Yeah. Original filing fee is $100 for Georgia.

                                            I don't actually see a renewal cost for CO. Not sure if we don't have one or I'm just missing it.
