Best Answer

The farmer will file a 1040 personal tax return with a Schedule F for his farming business then the farming profit will flow to Schedule SE for the computation of his self-employment taxes. All taxes are reported together on the 1040 Personal Tax return and paid together.

Is Self employment tax included in the normal federal income tax bracket for the self employed or is it separate?

Self-employment tax is separate from income tax. Self-employment tax is actually the Social Security and Medicare taxes on self-employment income. The tax rate for Social Security is 12.4%. The tax rate for Medicare is 2.9%. When you are employed by another person, one-half of your Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld from your gross wages. The other half is paid by your employer. When you are self-employed, you are both the employee and the employer, and must pay 100% of the Social Security and Medicare taxes due on your self-employment income. These taxes often come as a major shock to the newly self-employed. SE income is usually calculated on Form 1040 Schedule C. SE tax is calculated on Form 1040 Schedule SE.
