W-2 & 1099 together?

This year I worked as a self-employed contractor until I got hired as a salary employee in Sept.

As a self-employed man,  I contributed 25% of my income to SEP IRA. I also contributed $8,000 to ROTH IRA early this year because I'm over 60.  I think I'll receive both 1099 (as a contractor), and W-2 (as a salary employee) next January. In my case, should I file tax returns both as a contractor and an employee? I am confused because I've never worked both as a self-employed man and a salaried employee at the same time.

W-2 & 1099 together?

It is not unusual for someone to have both W-2 and self employment income and you can contribute to both a SEP and an IRA.

For self-employed individuals, the calculation is a bit more involved because the contribution itself reduces net earnings. Often, people use an effective rate of about 20% of net self-employment. TurboTax can calculate that for you. 

W-2 & 1099 together?

ALL  of your income will go on the same tax return---including the W-2 income and the self-employment income.   Your situation is not at all unusual.   In fact it is very common and can easily be handled by TurboTax.

 

 

If you have self-employment income for which you will pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare,  you will need to use online Premium software or any version of the CD/download so that you can prepare a Schedule C for your business expenses.

If you live in a state with a state income tax, you might need to make estimated payments to your state.
