What is FICA the same as?

FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Basically, it's taxes used as payment into the Social Security and Medicare benefits programs. This is how you contribute to those programs. When you're an employee, you pay half and your employer pays half. Your half is deducted from your paycheck, then your employer adds their half and sends the entire amount in on your behalf when they pay all the other payroll taxes. Self-employed people don't have an employer to pay half, so they pay the entire amount for their Social Security and Medicare taxes.
