Self employed

The only way to delete the self-employment tax is by deleting the income that is generating the tax.

 

Self-employment taxes are taxes on income that you earn when not an employee.  This includes things like a side gig, freelancing, working for someone who gives you a 1099-NEC instead of a W-2.  You do not have to have an official business to be self-employed. 

Am I considered self-employed?
