Don't get me wrong, I love design and art. But reality is different~I think school needs to teach students on how to protect ourselves once we get out there. However, thank you for sharing information. Thank you very much Laura~

I don't know any graphic designers who don't freelance...but I digress. I found this link that might help: http://www.business.gov/register/incorporation/llc/ I've never heard anything about getting a tax break if you register your business. I never did but registering as an LLC seems pretty painless and what many small businesses opt to do. Sorry I'm not more knowledgable on the subject. Talking to an accountant is probably your best bet. Sorry I wasn't terribly helpful! Hi Lori, I too wish they would’ve taught we self-employed/freelancing individuals something about taxes in school.
