I asked a question on Stack Overflow about what I need to do to prepare to freelance/consult. It was closed by the mods, but I'm not sure where I should go to ask this type of question? 

It is programming related but not necessarily programming, I can see why it doesn't necessarily fit on SO but don't know where to go to ask this. 

[Link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9471942/how-to-set-myself-up-tax-wise-to-consult-w-2s-1099s-llc-s-corps) to question (10K).
