    If you're just starting out and not earning lots of freelance income yet, you could just file as self-employed 1099. I filed that way for about 6 years and it was fine. Now that my business is picking up, it makes more finiancial sense for me to be an S-Corp. Start off small and uncomplicated.

    Someone already said, no worthwhile company is going to pay you under the table. As long as you're making more than a few hundred bucks, they're going to report your earnings, and you'll have to too.

    You'll want to check if Florida requires you to have a business license. Talk to an accountant, a self-employed one, not one at a big firm who will not be aggressive.
