Self employed

@brown-danielle1226 If you do not have any dependents to claim then you are not eligible for any of the refundable child-related credits.   So---you might not get a refund if you did not have any tax withheld from any source(s) of the income you received.  You will owe self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, and perhaps ordinary income tax.

 

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the desktop software download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

You must pay your state tax due using the state’s preferred method of receiving payment.  For most states that will be by making a payment to the state’s own tax website, or by mailing a check or money order.
