Using the schedule C or C-EZ of the 1040 tax form along with the SE. If you are a self-employed (includes freelance and independent contractors) taxpayer, 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, 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. You may also need to make quarterly estimated tax payments. You would use Form 1040ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals, for this.
