How can I pay the full self employment tax? I do not qualify for the deductible.

posted

When you file as Self-Employed, you pay all the FICA (social security) tax on the self-employed income.

This means you are paying the employee share (you) and the employer share (you). Since you pay the employer share, that is a business expense.

That is the deduction.

All self-employed Taxpayers get that deduction.

Thank you for your response. I am technically an employee of a foreign organization, and so I do not qualify for the deduction that you mentioned. Therefore, I need to pay the full self employment tax. How can I do that?

For a 1099 Misc Non Qualified Plan how do I list it in Turbo tax Schedule 1 line 8 Z - other income with statement ,and deduction part of self employment and on Schedule SE line 2 and on Schedule 2 line 4
