Laws vary from state to state, but I don't think incorporation is
necessary in any state, and the tax advantages people imagine it will
provide are mostly not allowed for sole proprietorships. In
California, one client wanted me to have a federal tax ID and a DBA.

Read up on the IRS regulations on self-employment and estimated taxes.
Put 25-35% of your gross minus whatever you pay in estimated taxes in
a savings account so you're not caught short.
