Hello! I am new to Upwork and just accepted my first job!
I am going to fill out the W-9 (as a US Based Person); however, I do not know if I need to register with my state as a business in order for things to be legitimate?
Also, do I then need to open a business checking account?
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you,
Shelby Pelesky

You are new. Just fill out the W-9. Your legal name is your business name. Don't worry about the state unless and until you decided to form an LLC or some such. You can open a business account if your wish - I've never felt the need, however.
