For my freelance editing, I was technically self-employed during 2007 and 2008. I got a 2007 Survey of Business Owners and Self-Employed Persons in the mail last week and it says I'm required by law to fill it out.
The thing is, I feel like a complete idiot. It seems so confusing to me. Do I consider myself the business owner since I was contracted out? Did you get this survey?
I really shouldn't worry too much about it bc it's not like they'll know how accurate I am, but I feel bad submitting inaccurate information. But seriously, it's so confusing. Do I really have to do it? What would happen if I didn't? I probably made a total of $5K over the 2 years... it's not like this was a big business.
