I can't find anywhere that I did paid self employment tax

Best answer by AmyC

REALLY??? If they don't pay self employment taxes until they file the tax return??? Then why is IRS telling us to pay quarterly estimated taxes? I am VERY CONFUSED BY THAT, otherwise, I maybe would not have to pay $225 last June 12 2021??? But, I do have good feeling that I may have to pay Self Employed taxes because I am Food Order Delivery Driver, only logged expenses is MILEAGE DEDUCTIONS. No other expenses. That is why I wanted to pay taxes before I file tax return. Now you are telling me that they don't pay taxes until they fill tax return??? What should I do for 2022 if I am to continue to delivery the food orders?

The IRS would like payment as you earn the income. Estimated taxes are expected if you will have income from your business and a tax liability over $1,000. You are certainly welcome to pay more in estimated taxes to prevent a tax bill or even have a refund.

Estimated taxes are paid quarterly and you may have indeed sent a payment of $225. The IRS lists payment to your account. You can check your records at Your Online Account | Internal Revenue Service. If you made the estimated payment, it needs to be entered into the program. See Where do I enter my estimated tax payments?

To pay them for 2022, see:

For the official rules: See Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals

SE taxes on your federal tax return will be shown on Schedule 2 Line 4 which flows to Form 1040 Line 23

Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the online program screen. Click on Tools. Click on View Tax Summary. Click on Preview my 1040 on the left side of the screen.

Also note - you will only have SE taxes if you have a net profit from your self-employment. If you have a net loss then no SE taxes will be owed.

That does not answer my question. It is NOT ABOUT wither I have profit or loss, it is ABOUT finding EVIDENCE or document that I had paid self employment tax. My bank account have transaction that I paid $xxx.00 on June 12, 2021. But I don't have a document for that.

You only pay SE taxes on your federal tax return if you have a net profit from the self-employment reported on the federal tax return. The SE taxes are calculated on Schedule SE and include with the tax return.

Any taxes you have paid directly to the IRS in 2021 either using a Form 1040-ES or directly on the IRS website were probably estimated tax payments. These payments are shown on your Form 1040 Line 26 if you reported the payments made in the TurboTax program.
