1099 K

[Diane P]

Should I file my 1099K separate from my personal taxes?

I sell on Etsy so I should only receive 1 1099K ... correct ?

No you have to report all your income on the same 1040 tax return.  What are you selling?  Personal items or things you make?  If youhave self employment income you fill out Schedule C in your tax return.

I sell Silk floral wreaths using an online platform.  How do I know if I'm considered self-employed to fill out the schedule C

[VolvoGirl · Accepted solution]

That is self employment income.  To report your self employment income you will fill out schedule C in your personal 1040 tax return and pay SE self employment Tax. You will need to use the Online Self Employed version or any Desktop program but the Desktop Home & Business version will have the most help.

You pay Self Employment tax on $400 or more of net profit from self-employment in addition to any regular income tax. You pay 15.3% SE tax on 92.35% of your Net Profit greater than $400. The 15.3% self employed SE Tax is to pay both the employer part and employee part of Social Security and Medicare. So you get social security credit for it when you retire.
