If self employed last year and had no sales or tax withheld ie inactive do you still have to file a Schedule C with your Federal tax return and for tax purposes are you still considered self employed?

Your self employed as you said you are. You just need to show at what...and it was done in hope of profit, although maybe not making any (yet), and not as a hobby. (Any employee income is additional....you can have both). It would seem the business you run was either inactive, or unsuccessful...filing a Sch C, proving a loss, which can be used to offset self employed income in other years (and some other income in current year), would be advantageous.


If you made less than 600 dollars on your 1099 misc do you have to file it?

You are required to report ALL of your income, even barter income, regardless of the amount. For each of your different businesses (if you have more than 1), you would file a separate Schedule C and Schedule SE. If you have more than $400 NET income from your schedule C, then it is Self-Employment taxable. Self-employment tax is merely both sides of FICA (aka social security/medicare); employee AND employer. Any net income (or loss) from the Schedule C is then reported on the first page of the 1040. All of your income and loss (W-2, 1099-INT/Div, Stock Sales, Business/Schedule C, Rental/Schedule E, etc) are added together to determine your AGI. Then your exemptions and deductions (standard or itemized) are factored in to give you your taxable income.


How do you calculate sales from net income percentage?

Sales can be calculated by using net income percentage because net income is always reported as a percentage of sales. For exmaple net income of 20 is a 20% of sales so sales will be as follows: 20% sales = net income Sales = Net income / 20 * 100 Sales = 20 /20 * 100 = 100 So Sales = 100

Is sales tax deductible from 2007 tax returns?

Sales tax is deductible as an itemized deduction (Schedule A), however you can deduct EITHER: -Sales Tax Paid -State income taxes paid Obviously you would want to deduct whichever is higher. This deduction can be very beneficial to people living in states that do not have an income tax, such as Florida.

Do you have to file taxes for a side job you made less than 600?

You are required to report ALL of your income, even barter income, regardless of the amount. For each of your different businesses (if you have more than 1), you would file a separate Schedule C and Schedule SE. If you have more than $400 NET income from your schedule C, then it is Self-Employment taxable. Self-employment tax is merely both sides of FICA (aka social security/medicare); employee AND employer. Any net income (or loss) from the Schedule C is then reported on the first page of the 1040. All of your income and loss (W-2, 1099-INT/Div, Stock Sales, Business/Schedule C, Rental/Schedule E, etc) are added together to determine your AGI. Then your exemptions and deductions (standard or itemized) are factored in to give you your taxable income.
