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.

Will you get back money if you file your inome tax without being employed for that year?

The answer is NO. When you are employed you have federal taxes taken from your pay or if you are self employed you are to pay Federal taxes on your gross income twice a year. During tax time if you were employed or self employed and have earned income (which is what you made all year) you file a federal income tax. The purpose to file taxes is to see if you will end up getting taxes back from what you have paid in all year or if you will end up paying because you still owe. Depending on the income bracket you fall under, if you have dependants to claim, or if you have any deductions will calculated to see what your getting back.
