But if you have an employer would they be able to help you file ? Seeing as how you need to provide the information for where you work, or can you just do it on your own ?
You can do it on your own. If you were an employee then you would be receiving a pay statement on a regular basis and a W-2 after the end of the year in January. Since you are being paid in cash I assume you did not give your employer a Form W-4 to have any federal taxes withheld from your income. And you are not having any Social Security or Medicate taxes withheld from your income.
The Self-Employment taxes are for the SS and Medicare taxes that are required to be paid by everyone who receives earned income.
