Interesting. In Michigan, there is nothing whatsoever involved AFAIK.
You just send invoices with your name and at the end of the year, send
a W9 and they send you some tax form and that's it. At least that's
what my father says, and he does my taxes. He also does his own and
his incorporated small business as well. I think he knows what he's
