Alice is single and self-employed in 2019. Her net business profit on her Schedule C for the year is $150,000. What is her self-

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

$19,790

Explanation:

A taxpayer’s tax base for computing a self-employed taxpayer’s self-employment tax (i.e., net earnings from self-employment) is the taxpayer’s net business profit from Schedule C multiplied by 92.35%.

So, Alice’s net earnings from self-employment is her net profit from Schedule C of $150,000 x 92.35% = $138,525.

Alice will owe $15,773 ($127,200 maximum amount x 12.4%) in Social Security taxes and $4,017 ($138,525 x 2.9%) for the Medicare component of FICA taxes.

Alice owes total self-employment tax of $19,790 ($15,773 + $4,017).

She is not subject to additional Medicare tax because her net earnings from self-employment do not exceed $200,000.
