Frequently Asked Tax Questions

Self Employment Tax 

"Is there a separate filing or place to send my self employment tax?"

Self employment tax is computed on Schedule SE which is part of your federal income tax return form 1040. The self employment tax is added to your income tax in arriving at your total tax. Self employment tax is paid as part of your federal tax. If you are making federal estimated tax payments, those payments go towards the one "account" for your federal taxes which includes both self employment and income tax.
