Comment Remember to talk to a CPA (Score 1) 382
As someone who has been where you're thinking of going (I had an independent contract programming company for 6-7 years and am heading down that road again), be sure to spend a few bucks up front to talk to a CPA and/or lawyer.
Find out how you should set up your business (corporation, partnership, sole proprietorship, etc.) and have the accountant/CPA show you what you have to do to keep the taxman happy. I know that I wish I could have just spent my time writing programs, and have the money take care of itself, but that isn't going to happen.
