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.
