You’ll need a good accountant.
Consider doing it under your social security number. Your client can provide a 1099. If you are 1099’d, remember that you are liable for both sides of your social security and medicare and for your federal withholding.

If you are providing accounting advice or services for compensation to anyone other than your employer, then you probably need to be licensed as a certified public accountant. If you are only providing bookkeeping services, then probably not. If you are providing CPA services, then you would probably form a subchapter S professional corporation (PC) or professional limited liability company (PLLC). I say “probably” because I don’t know the specific laws in NC, but most states allow PC and PLLC business formations, all states require CPAs to be licensed, and some states require non-employee bookkeepers to be licensed.
Tell your father to become a democrat and get elected President.
Then you can make any business you want and will make millions.
Not legal advice, not an attorney... but if you’re not needing liablity protection, you just keep track of expenses and income and file taxes on a Schedule C as a sole proprietor. For example, I do printing brokering and have no overhead to speak of.... the factory invoices me, I invoice my customer, and on the Schedule C it is basically just showing the net profit. If I were to advertise or get business cards printed for myself, for example, those would be listed as marketing expenses and deducted from the profit. But if you do need a little separation/liability protection so nobody can come after your assets, you should set up an entity. An LLC can also file taxes on Schedule C, and you can do that under your SSN or get a FEIN. When you incorporate, that’s a whole different level of reporting and tracking, and for that I say have an attorney help you.
S Corp or LLC. I went with S Corp.
