Here is a great tool which can help you discover which deductions you can take: Self-Employed Deductions Calculator .

You will also want to be aware of self employment tax. In addition to income tax, this tax will be added for you on your tax return. This tax comprises of a 12.4 percent tax for Social Security and a 2.9 percent tax for Medicare. It is calculated based on your net self-employment earnings.
