Deductions & credits

Hi Rainman,

 

Thank you for your answers and the quick reply.  Much appreciated!

 

For question # 1, you mentioned paying Federal & Self-Employment taxes (approx. 40%). 

  - I understand Federal and State are the taxes that I have to pay regardless of W-2 or 1099. 

  - With the 1099, wouldn't I need to pay for Social Security and Medicare taxes? 

  - If yes, what are the percentages?  I would need to add this percentage to the 40%, correct?

 

For question # 3, is there a form that I can use to calculate/estimate the 1099 quarterly tax amount to pay the IRS?
