Taxes & Deductions for Independent Contractors

[Karen <ekarenski-techwrl -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I've found the following two resources on the RMC STC
site & Techwr-l:

http://stcrmc.org/jobs_freelance/freefaq.htm
http://www.techwr-l.com/techwhirl/magazine/indeptw/1_soyouwanttobe.html

And a lot of the techwr-l archives. (Plus, of course,
the IRS site--anyone here work for them?! ;)

This is the first time I've had to file as an
independent contractor and it's only for 4 months of
last year. 

I know I can search the web and find a lot of general
information about independent contracting and TurboTax
is very helpful stepping me though the process;
however, I'd like to get a technical writers thoughts
on the deductions that they were most likely to miss
taking. Disclaimer: I realize no one on this list is
probably a CPA, but I'd appreciate hearing your
responses (aka "lessons learned".)
