You must report both the self employment income and the W-2 income.

  • In order to report your Social Security and Medicare taxes, you must file Schedule SE (Form 1040), Self-Employment Tax (PDF). Use the income or loss calculated on Schedule C or Schedule C-EZ to calculate the amount of Social Security and Medicare taxes you should have paid during the year.
  • Report the W-2 income in the usual manner.
If you are confused by this using a tax professional will make it simpler.

Which employer pays for your unemployment if you only work 3 weeks for one employer but had worked 31 years for the prior employer?

Until you have worked for the new employer for one calendar quarter, the state unemployment commission does not know you are employed there - the employer has not yet paid UI taxes associated with your name and SSAN. Any UI claim will be charged against the former employer ... or just denied.


What federal taxes does a self-employed person have to pay?

Self-Employed people have to pay income tax just like everyone else, plus self-employment taxes which are basically Social Security and Medicare taxes. A self-employed person will have to pay all of the Social Security and Medicare taxes since they don't have an employer. When you work for someone, the employer pays for half of the Social Security and Medicare taxes in addition to other taxes like federal and state unemployment taxes and other items depending on the state and city you are located in.


What taxes should I pay if I am employed by a non-US company?

If you live and work in the U.S. then you are liable for the same taxes as anyone else. Your employer will have no difference whether they are based in the U.S. or not as far as U.S. employees are concerned. They will be responsible for the same tax issues as any other employer for federal, state and local payroll taxes. If you are working in another country for an employer in that country then it will be different.

What are the key differences in taxes between being self-employed and being a business owner?

The key difference in taxes between being self-employed and a business owner is how income is taxed. Self-employed individuals pay self-employment tax, which includes both the employee and employer portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes. Business owners, on the other hand, may be subject to different tax rates and deductions based on the type of business structure they have, such as a corporation or partnership.


Can an employer use W-4 to withhold taxes and give employee a 1099?

No. A 1099 is issued to self-employed contractors hired to do a job. If your employer issued you a 1099, they are telling your state's Dept of Employment and Dept of Revenue that you're an independent contractor (self-employed). This means they generally are not withholding any taxes from your pay, nor are they paying their share of payroll taxes or paying unemployment insurance for you. This puts you on the hook for all your own self-employment taxes (FICA & Medicare) which is shared between an employer and an employee. You'll want to check on independent contractor laws in your state to see if your appropriately classified and your employer is paying what they're supposed to pay.


What is FICA the same as?

FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. Basically, it's taxes used as payment into the Social Security and Medicare benefits programs. This is how you contribute to those programs. When you're an employee, you pay half and your employer pays half. Your half is deducted from your paycheck, then your employer adds their half and sends the entire amount in on your behalf when they pay all the other payroll taxes. Self-employed people don't have an employer to pay half, so they pay the entire amount for their Social Security and Medicare taxes.
