The Arizona Sole Proprietor / Independent Contractor Statement (PDF) is a document used by businesses in Arizona to declare a contractor as an independent contractor and not an employee. This statement provides information about the individual and their work status, as well as their responsibilities and liabilities. The statement also includes a signature line for the contractor to acknowledge the agreement. There are two different types of Arizona Sole Proprietor / Independent Contractor Statement (PDF): one for individuals who are self-employed, and one for companies that have contracted with an independent contractor. Both documents provide the same information, but the self-employed version includes a section for the contractor to report their estimated taxes.
