After GC???

[IC 2004]

I am an independent contractor. I will get the check in my name. I would like to start a computer consulting firm. I have the following question:
1. Under which form of business structure (i.e form of corporation) can I still get the check in my name and show it as income for the corporation?

Thanks in advance.

When you are incorporated and sole owner of company, you can use your name. Only difference between an independent contractor and incorporation is that independent contractor does not have a company name and tax id. Common check rule for sole owner business is "John Doe DBA Doe Inc". That way you can have your name + business name.
