Are my write-offs counted as a sole proprietor? I'ma freelance writer and I ahd $10K in expenses/write offs last year. SInce it was below the $30K?

When you operate a business, you file a Schedule C to report your income and expenses. You pay self-employment tax and income tax, the amounts are calculated as part of your return.

I'm not quite sure what your question is exactly. Can you clarify?
