starting as independent contractor/need help!
Subject: starting as independent contractor/need help!

I'm going to be able to return to work very part time since my disability is getting a bit better.  I have an offer to work as an independent contractor, probably not making more than 12 grand per year.


This will be my first time being a contractor and I'm boggled after reading the IRS info on the site.  Do I need to file for a taxpayer ID# or can I just use my Social Security number?  I think I can wade through paying the taxes, etc, but may have an accountant do this initially.


Thank's in advance, Becca.

Subject: meds prescribed taken AC and HS see msg

Suddenly Im very confused - I have always typed it as taken at q.h.s. but now the doc says to be taken AC and HS.  Is this typed capital letters per my Abbreviations book or a.c. and h.s.?  I have the same problem with a.m. and p.m.   I assume there is a rule about this but not sure what the latest would be.  This is a new doc and I normally do not type meds so I am rusted. Thanks in advance.
