When figuring self-employment tax you owe, you get to reduce self-employment income by half of the self-employment tax before applying the tax rate. Say, for example, that your net self-employment income is $50,000. That's the amount you report as taxable for income tax purposes on Form 1040. But when figuring your self-employment tax on Schedule SE, Computation of Social Security Self-Employment Tax, the taxable amount is $46,175. Not paying the 15.3 percent tax on $3,225 difference in this example saves you $493.
Self-employment taxes are the taxes self-employed people must pay to support the Social Security and Medicare systems. Employees have their Social Security and Medicare taxes directly deducted from their paychecks by their employers, who must make matching contributions.
