The ACM offers a Catastrophic Medical policy.  Currently costs about $400/year,
didn't have any qualifying requirement when I got it, $25,000 deductible. 
Other organizations may have similar plans available.  Makes it possible to be
basically pay-as-you-go on health care but eliminate the most serious financial
exposure.

Note that when you are not covered by a pension plan, the limits on IRA
contributions are much higher.  Mine is set up as a Simplified Employee Pension
(IRA-SEP), though I forget what that gains me!

WARNING!!!

I went to seminar put on by these people about a year ago. Everything the
original poster said may be true, but the thing they don't tell you until
later is that to join the company, you must start out by selling life
insurance. Sure, later they will teach you about other investing, but you
must start by peddling life insurance. Personally (for my situation) I think
life insurance is a waste of money. You could probably do just as well
investing the money yourself. But anyway, I wasn't prepared to try to sell
something I did not want for myself. Your milage may vary.

I developed a package in Excel that allowed my friend, a house painter, to
create a proposal then a bill that used items in the propsal to base the
bill on.  He can charge by time or job.  All the information in the sheet is
saved in an excel database and is retrievable.  The bills are printed using
either a lazer printer or dot matrix (for multipart if necessary)

This sounds like one of the things I can tweak the program to do.  Excel is
very good a presenting information.  I can create a sheet that can be used
as a bill, a proposal, anything that is needed.  For my friend I used clip
art to make a picture of mountains (the company is Alpine Painting) on the
sheet.  I figure that if people are interested, and they have excel, I can
probably create a quasi (I don't know what you would call excel macros)
custom billing system to meet your personal needs for about $200.00.

John,

I currently work for a body shop and have enough contacts to generate my
own business but cannot because outfits like Kodak are intimidated by the
IRS who has told them that, as an independent, if I fail to pay my taxes
Kodak would be ultimately liable.

Any suggestions or approaches to get around this?

I'm doing some research on Inc'ing, and was curious about the "Personal

certain personal service corps. is taxed at a flat corporate rate of 34%
(as opposed to 15%).

Definitely!

>Are there any creative ways to legally side-step this?

You don't want to tangle with the IRS on this one. If you incorporate
you will have to incorporate as a personal service corp. There are basically
two ways to work this. 

1. Stay a sole proprietor and work for job shops under W-2, or if you
are more adventurous you can work under 1099's. See the discussions recently
in this group concerning section 1706.

2. Incorporate but don't leave much money in your corporation at the end
of the tax year. IE: Always spend the money as income to yourself and for
the benefits you want to write off.

I have been successfully using my sole-proprietorship for a number of
years and since I am usually out of my base city to do my work I get
tremendous tax advantages. I am considering moving to a corporation to
protect myself better from liability and taxes, but probably won't until
I get more work at home. 

I have been told that the IRS is cracking down on one person corporations.
Does anyone have any experience in this?

Thanks,

Brian

All you can do is tell them that you are self-employed.  They may consider
that to be a hardship and let you off; then again, they may not.  In my area,
it's alot more than 3 days of pay if you get selected.  In one of the
neighboring counties, where I used to live, it was 1 day/1 trial. (eg. 1day if
you don't get selected, 1 trial if you do!)

The last time that I was selected, the trial lasted 2 weeks, and I went to
court every day for 2 weeks and was reimbursed $20 per day by the county.
Yum yum!  I can hear you all salivating at that pay rate.
