Last year (2024) I went from being employed to unemployed, to self employed. I'm not sure how to complete my taxes so that I can take advantage of the self employment tax portion. I know that there are benefits to being self employed, but for a quarter of the year I was employed, received regular paychecks, even some severance. How do I incorporate all of that, then transition to being self employed and take advantage of those benefits, tax deductions, etc.?
