Does Self-Employed cover federal and state self-employment taxes?

I purchased Self-Employed to help me file the taxes owed on my gig work. Does Self-Employed also account for my state's self-employment taxes? I am in the state of Minnesota. Thanks!

Did you owe state tax due? Why are you asking if it was paid? You have to pay it yourself----how did you pay?

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.

Please clarify. Are you a sole proprietor, Subchapter S, Partnership or C-Corp? Did you complete a Schedule C on your Federal return? What state are you referring to?

My apologies-- I got confused when was trying to search on my TT page for an answer related to my question. I edited my post for more clarity. I filed my federal and state return with TT and reported my self-employment income. According to TT, I will be getting a refund from my state. I just want to be sure TT included the assessment of MN's self-employment tax in addition to federal.

I am a sole proprietor (gig work ex. DoorDash, Instacart) and completed a Schedule C on my federal return. I am in the state of Minnesota.

Thanks for your help!

Minnesota does not have separate self employment tax from the federal rate of 15.3%. If you created a Minnesota return and entered your business activity in the federal return, it would have flowed into the state return.
