If you have self-employment income, then the SS & Medicare tax at just over 15% of line 3 on your Schedule 1?
That tax is applied, and mut be included....all before your Std Deduction/or itemized deductions, are applied, and then the regular income tax is calculated.
Thus, the "effective" tax rate can end up being a screwy number.
