as a freelancer you must always remember a few things.
you must tax out yourself meaning at least 38%-40% from every every check and out it aside [this money belongs to the govt for taxes] as a freelancer you must claim your wages in advance [meaning you must estimate your future earnings] quarterly. this is done because a freeelancer can have lots of work or none at all and every week is different.
always get it in writing. i cant stress enough to get it in writing, get every action you make in writing. al wages, all work, all comps get it all down, and dont hand write it either, type it out professionally. if you need contracts goto:

also everything is a complete write off, meaning your rent your food, your fun, your supplies, anything you spend is a write off or at least half of it.
welcome to the world of more money!!!!
