Thanks for the idea to contact a tax preparer. I had thought of contacting an accountant, but I will try both. Do you know if I would require a tax id? Guess I can find that out also. Thanks again and congratulations on getting your LPN license!

Many insurance companies hire RNs to work at home, minimum of 25 hours a week as independent contractors. You set your own hours. If you google telecommute nursing you will find many jobs out there.

I will be working for a Long Term Care Insurance Company as an RN doing risk assessments for members applying for long term care insurance. I will be responsible for doing my own taxes and the company will send me a 1099 from at the end of the year. I am not sure what is required on my part to do this correctly. Do I need a Federal ID number, State ID number and how does one go about doing that. I have never been an independent contractor before. The company just needs my SS# and they are not asking that I have a Federal/State ID. I want to do this legally and correctly. Can anyone give me some guidance on where to begin? I will be working at home in the State of Arizona, but will be able to work anywhere in the U.S.
