Schedule SE: Self-Employment Tax

Calculates Social Security and Medicare tax obligations for self-employed taxpayers.

How Schedule SE Works

Schedule SE uses your net self-employment income to compute the self-employment tax amount due.

This tax is separate from income tax and is often underestimated by freelancers and business owners.

Planning Priorities

  • Quarterly estimated tax planning
  • Self-employment income tracking
  • Deduction coordination with Schedule C
