You have to pay self employment tax on net income from self employment; even if it is offset by a capital loss.
You can view your your 1040 form before you e-file:
- Open or continue your return.
- Select Tax Tools in the left menu (if you don't see this, select the menu icon in the upper-left corner).
- Then select tools
- Then select View tax summary
- Then select Preview my 1040
Self-employment tax is on line 15, and Schedule 2 line 10.
