When you go through the steps above, you will pay the employee portion of Social Security, Medicare Tax, and the federal income tax owed. Since they reported your income on a 1099-NEC, there was $0 tax withheld. If the employer relationship exist then they are responsible for half of the Social Security and Medicare Tax but since you did not have any withholdings through the year as a normal W-2 worker would, you will be required to pay that amount when you file your return at the end of the year.
According to the IRS, "The current tax rate for Social Security is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the employee, or 12.4% total. The current rate for Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total. Refer to Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide for more information."
