contractor can get 1099 or W2.

A contract job, 如何繳稅？ Here are my questions:

- which tax form do I file w/ IRS, Sch C of form 1040?
*** May be 1099, May be W2 from a job consulting company. Depends on how you are hired for the job.

- do I have to set up a company or get a business licenses to do the job and be able to deduct all job related cost on tax return?

*** Not need. Shcedule C will work in both case.

- What’s self-employed? Is it the same thing as contract job?
*** 1099 job is self-employed. Will need pay 13.3% self employment TAX no matter what.

- By doing a contract job, do I need to pay double social security taxes?
