As the 2018 tax season concludes, we’re excited to report on the progress of a successful partnership with TaxAct Pro Advance we launched for the year.

Taxes for Self-Employed Individuals

As a self-employed individual, you are responsible for paying taxes on your income. Unlike employees, taxes aren’t automatically taken out of your payments. Instead, you are responsible for setting aside money for your taxes and then paying the IRS.

 

How much will I have to pay?

This depends on many factors, but as a general rule of them, we recommend putting aside at least the following percentages, depending on your income level.

Your Annual Income Your Tax Rate Estimate
< $25K 20-25%
$25K-$50K 30-35%
$50K-$75K 35-40%
$75K-$100K 40-45%
> $100K >45%
