If you are self-employed you generally have to pay self-employment tax as well as income tax. Self-employment tax is a Social Security and Medicare tax primarily for individuals who work for themselves. It is similar to the Social Security and Medicare taxes withheld from the pay of most wage earners. You figure self-employment tax using a Form 1040 Schedule SE. Also, you can deduct an employer's equivalent portion of your self-employment tax in figuring your adjusted gross income. In prior years, the deduction was equal to one-half of self-employment tax.
