Are you considered an independent contractor? How do taxes work?

Hi Amy,
Leapforce is now Appen. And yes, you work as an independent contractor, so you’re responsible for paying quarterly self-employment taxes.

How do I get information on this? How does one get started? Sounds like something I would enjoy. I can literally find anything online. Friends have made fun of my research abilities, but it sounds as if it could come in very handy with this co.

I’ve run into countless work-from-home ideas and have tried out several but this is a novel one that I didn’t hear about before. Might give it a go.

Apparently, you can’t find ANYTHING online. You were given the information needed- The company name, type of job, so you didn’t look good enough, or you would have found the link that says they had merged. Lol…haha…Go get ’em Elaine!
