    Blended tax rate is taking into consideration your taxes plus the 15.3% you pay for social security and medicare as a sole proprieter.

    Thank you for that clarification. It still seems excessively high when my taxable income was roughly 19, 500. At the most, I would expect 27.3%.

    The way TurboTax computes a blended tax rate is very confusing and sometimes I wish they would just not include it.
