    You also need to discuss with your contractee how often you plan to invoice them and how long they have to pay you. This is VERY IMPORTANT. If you don't discuss it with them, you might get into a dispute with them about what is owed and when.

    Also, it might not hurt to consult a lawyer anyway about possibly incorporating yourself. Find out whether it's better to 1099 for yourself or for a company that is you. There are tax benefits & downsides to both.
