No. Perhaps you did not realize it, but when you work as an independent contractor instead of working as a W-2 employee, you are taxed as if you have your own business. Did you not notice that no Social Security, Medicare or tax was being withheld from your paychecks? If you made even $400 as an independent contractor, you are subject to paying self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare.
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.
