If you are a self employed taxpayer then you are responsible for all of your own FICA self employment taxes of 15.3% plus any income taxes on your net profit from your business operation at your marginal tax rate.

You will need to report that income, and any related expenses, on Form 1040, Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business, or you may qualify to use Form 1040, Schedule C-EZ, TO determine your Net Profit from Business. You will also need to use Form 1040, Schedule SE, Self-Employment Tax to compute and report your social security and Medicare tax.

For instructions and forms go to the IRS.gov website and use the search box for publication 334 a very good place to start with examples.
