But aren't you "in business" as a piano tuner? You don't tune pianos for 
nothing. So you are in business. 

I give a class called Service Management. Basically, it says that as an 
individual, you have to run your business just like a large company. In a 
large company, there are advertising specialist, accountants, bookkeepers, 
janitors, secretaries, etc. The only difference between a large company and a 
sole proprietor is that instead of having a person, or several people, in 
each department, there is only one person doing it all. And all that one 
person does is change hats. So in a sense, even though the check is made out 
to you, YOU are the business. BTW, if you have difficulty with any part of 
the business, get professional help. 

I do the same as Clyde. I have two separate checking accounts, one for my 
home, and one for my business. All my tuning income goes into my business 
account, out of which I write a check to put in me home account. All my 
business expenses are written off the business account, and all my home 
expenses are written out of my home account.
