Does anyone have experience working as a contractor? I have heard it may be better to enter employment through an entity (LLC? S Corp?) for tax purposes, rather than be self-employed. Also understand there are nuances for this entity to not be disregarded for tax purposes.
I would appreciate any advice that anyone can offer.

An LLC on it's own does nothing federally.
An entity taxed as an S Corp (either a corporation or LLC) is usually efficient because S Corp earnings aren't subject to self employment tax you still have to pay yourself though.
This is a really fact specific conversation and I'd recommend talking to a tax profoundly on you state.
