Work at home jobs and insurance, retirement opportunities and financial planning.

Landing a home-based career is exciting business and there are many benefits to those of us who careers involve work at home jobs. Employers who hire people to perform home-based jobs also have many benefits to hiring them as independent contractors versus regular employees. In addition to not having to provide workspace and office support to employees or workers who hold home-based jobs, they are also not required to collect and pay their federal and state taxes, Medicare and other taxes, and pay for unemployment insurance and workmen's compensation for workers that are considered independent contractors instead of regular employees. Independent contractors are also not usually paid benefits.

If you are considering taking a job opportunity as an independent contractor, you may find that there are many benefits to you, as well as to your employer. Some of these may include:

Being able to determine how you perform your work at home job
Being free and independent
Being able to deduct portions of some of your expenses from your taxes. This may include portions of your house payment or rent and other business-related expenses such as: cleaning, maintenance, mortgage interest, utility costs, phone use, office supplies, business-related mileage and much more.
Being able to hire people to do your job
Being able to work for more than one company at a time

There are also many other financial considerations if you're considering taking a job as an independent contractor. How much money will you save on day care, commuting and other expenses now that you'll be able to work at home. How much will your health insurance cost now? How will this affect your retirement? Social security? 401(k)? Will you be paying less taxes now, or more? Will your auto insurance premium go down because you don't have to drive to work any more?

One work at home employee, Sue P., had a high-paying outside job for years. She and her husband were both professionals and earned over $150,000 a year. Even though their employers both took out huge sums of money every month for their taxes, they still ended up writing a big, fat check for more taxes every April. When Sue quit her outside job and took a less-paying job at home, they stopped having to write checks for taxes and instead, started receiving large tax refund checks every year!
