When tax time rolls aroung, you will fill out a Schedule C for the 1099 income.Originally posted by: RMSistight
I know this is a little early. But I need to plan ahead for next year.
I recently got hired as an independent contractor for a winery doing IS helpdesk stuff. I got my first paycheck and my boss told me that I should store away about 25-30% of every paycheck into a separate checking account for tax purposes. I work three jobs and two of them I'm an employee so taxes are taken care of for me.
My question is: How do I determine how much tax I will have to pay when tax time rolls around 2007? I've already finished filing my taxes for this year. What about stuff like FICA, Medicare, state taxes and stuff....like taxes employers normally take out if I was an employee?
Just to clarify, when I signed up for the job, they specifically stated I was an indepedent contractor and would not handle any of the taxes. Thanks guys for your help.
After figuring out the expenses, the net will become taxable for SS, etc.
There will be a formula that is used to determine the proper taxes.
Most Tax S/W will hande this situation for you in terms of figuring out the tax bite.
It is best to take 25% of the 1099 type income, stick it into a seperate account and sent it to Uncle every quarter.
That will then get accounted for against the total tax bill.
