As a 1099 independent contractor. What percentage of my income do I need to set aside for taxes?
ANSWER
The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:
The taxation, of your self-employment income, is comprised
of two components. The first component, is your payroll tax liability;
which equals 15.3% of your net self-employment income. The second
component, is your income tax liability; which equals, at least, 15%
of your net taxable income; plus, any state income tax liability. Thus,
at a minium, you need to set aside 25% of your net self-employment
income, to be allocated to pay your federal & state tax liability.
