Most independent contractors/freelancers/consultants (IRS Tax Status 1099)
already have a business entity registered with the State of Colorado and which
they use for state and federal tax reporting as well. If you have a business
entity, please list it here. You DO NOT have to have a business entity to
register with The Maris Group. However if we contact you for an independent
contractor assignment and you choose to accept the assignment, you will be
required to establish a business entity with the state prior to starting your
assignment. This is a simple on-line process which you can do yourself. For
additional information, please visit the state website.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding any of the above or how to
pay taxes as an independent resource, please seek professional legal or tax
advice.
