Deductions & credits

It depends.

 

By filing a form 1099-NEC (which reports self-employment income), you will owe income tax (as there is rarely tax withheld on a form 1099-NEC) AND self-employment tax.

 

If you are eligible for the EIC and the CTC (child tax credit), you may get a refund.

 

These two credits are refundable. If these credits are larger than your tax due (income tax + self-emplyment tax), then you will get a refund. If they are smaller than your tax due, you will owe taxes.
