When you sign on to perform a software consulting job, it's important that you establish a clear working relationship with the firm that hired you. And, should you ever come under IRS scrutiny, it's essential that you have a record outlining your status as an independent contractor and not an employee of your client. This simple agreement, written specifically for workers providing software consulting and programming services, will do just that.
The agreement covers:
- the services you'll provide
- deadlines you've agreed to meet
- when you'll be paid, including late fees if you're not paid on time
- how either side can change or end the agreement
Simply fill out the required information on the form, enter your taxpayer ID number, print, and sign. It's that easy!
This form is appropriate for independent contractors who have been hired to do a job. If you're hiring an independent contractor, use this form instead:
