How to use this Independent Contractor Agreement in US
Describe the deliverables, not the hours; let the contractor set the schedule and use their own tools. Collect a W-9 before the first payment and file a 1099-NEC if you pay $600 or more in a year.
Pay on time — late payment is the most common freelance dispute.
