Consulting 101

[OctCP]

I know this thread really does not belong on this message board, but I think there are many people here who are knowledgeable on this subject. Also, I have seen threads on this subject earlier, so I will go ahead and ask questions relating to Independent Consulting.

Scenario: A consultant is incorporated in state A and has to work on a project in state B

1) In which state does he/she has to file taxes for the earnings made from this project?

2) Is there a limit on the length of the project, after which "travelling to state B on work" becomes "living in state B". I think, when travelling on work, the consultant can itemize the work related expenses and claim deductions when filing taxes.

3) Are there any Internet resources which can teach me Independent Consulting 101?

Experts, please comment!

Read those "For Dummies" for a start.

"Consulting for Dummies"
"Contractor for Dummies"
"Freelancing For Dummies"
"Incorprated for Dummies" etc

Does these titles really exist, or are you just taking a guess?

For some reason, I don't like these "... for Dummies" books. Never read any of them. May be, the title is repulsive. May be, because I don't like being called a dummy, even when I am not knowledgable on the subject. Hey, you can't make me buy something, when you can't respect me!
