Independent Contractor Agreement
North Carolina
How are taxes covered in a contractor agreement?
I am an independent contractor that recently signed an agreement with a client. I am looking to understand how taxes are covered in the agreement, as I am unsure if the client is responsible for paying my taxes or if I am responsible for taking care of them myself. I want to make sure I am in compliance with all tax regulations and that my agreement accurately reflects this.

Independent contractors are separate ("independent") from the recipients of their services ("clients"). Clients do not make payroll deductions and withholdings from their independent contractors' pay like they would for their employees' pay. Rather, independent contractors are responsible for handling their own taxes. Ideally, independent contractors should have ongoing tax support to help ensure compliance with the tax regulations, as well as legal support of a knowledgeable attorney to review or help negotiate contract offers.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
