[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 7679291, member: 2525"] I don't want to speak for Owen here as he's quite capable of speaking for himself. But my suspicion is Owen is being hired out as a business entity of some sort when he's being hired as what you call a freelancer. I suspect, though again I do not know this for fact, that when he files his taxes he's filing it as some sort of sole proprietorship, and he writes off expenses against that business entity, when available, on some level. I am not even sure there is the sort of semantic difference you're expecting here - they're likely both businesses being hired. It's just that one has more than one employee, and the other has just one employee. Unless Owen's spouse or other people also work with him on the books or something, in which case it's possible Owen's "freelancer company" also has multiple people working there. Regardless, my suspicion (which Owen can confirm or deny) is he's a business entity of some sort as well. [/QUOTE]
