Now we\u2019re going to explain to you the reason why most creative freelancers and entrepreneurs generally pay more in taxes \u2014 and how you can avoid this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Picture this. It\u2019s tax season. You\u2019re sitting there, two weeks from the tax filing deadline. You still haven&#8217;t filed yet. You keep reminding yourself, \u201cI\u2019m going to sit down this evening and get my crap together.\u201d Sound familiar yet? <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">10pm rolls around, you\u2019re tired, and you have no motivation to get your tax paperwork done. You keep procrastinating cause you know it\u2019s going to take you a while to get everything together and send to your tax preparer. Oh the misery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you finally get around to filing your return, you open up the results and your heart sinks \u2014 you <i>owe <\/i>money. How could that be? You were positive you paid a fair amount of taxes this year with your company. Why do you owe taxes? Turbotax and H&amp;R block certainly won\u2019t tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What are self employment taxes? <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Simply put, Self Employment taxes (SE tax) are taxes that an individual has to pay if they make money outside of traditional employment with a company. SE tax is the Social Security and Medicare tax everyone is required to pay. The SE tax rate is currently 15.3%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">From selling prints online, receiving money for a wedding film, running sound for an event, all of these activities are considered income generating, which means all of these will be subject toSelf Employment tax. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This even includes contracting jobs where you end up with a 1099. A 1099 only reports the amount of income you have been paid; you are still required to pay taxes on the your total income. No matter how, or from whom, all income that you receive is considered taxable and subject to Self Employment tax. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Working for yourself<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When you work for someone else, at the end of the year you generally receive a W2. If you look closely, you\u2019ll see you paid a certain amount of tax for Social Security and Medicare. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The tax you paid is called \u201cwithholdings\u201d. The employer, on your behalf, withheld the tax from you every pay check and sent it to the IRS. In addition to withholding taxes from your check, they also had to pay half of the SE tax rate 15.3%, which would make 7.65%. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you work for yourself, or you work for someone else, 15.3% of what you make is required to be taxed and sent to the IRS. However, if you work for someone else, almost always will the company pay half of what you are obligated to pay for SE tax (hence why the employer pays 7.65% and you pay the other 7.65% notated on your W2).<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, if you are a Sole Proprietor or an LLC, there is no one to pay the other 7.65% of SE tax but you. So at the end of the year, not only do you have to pay your standard federal taxes, but you have to pay 15.3% of Self Employment taxes as well! This is why many freelancers get hit with a larger tax bill than you would if you worked for a corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bogus, right? It\u2019s already hard enough to work for yourself. Trying to make a living freelancing is no joke. Paying additional taxes on top of that isn\u2019t either\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>The light at the end of the tunnel<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In most scenarios, there is a way you can avoid having to pay most of that enormous 15.3% tax at the end of the year \u2014 it\u2019s called an \u201cS-Election\u201d. Generally speaking, owners of LLC\u2019s and Corporations can elect to be taxed with an \u201cS\u201d status. This status is not automatic \u2014 it is an election you can achieve by having a professional fill out certain forms on your behalf. Most of the time simply having an LLC doesn\u2019t grant you automatic &#8220;S&#8221; status.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, hang in there, because here comes the important part. &#8220;S&#8221; status gives your entity \u2014 among many unique benefits \u2014 the ability to take income in the form of a distribution. To break it down, distributions are portions of your income that can go straight into your pocket without being hit with self-employment taxes. That\u2019s right, with an &#8220;S&#8221; status, the 15.3% tax that you pay at the end of the year is not something you have to worry about for a large portion of your income. This is an amazing benefit for freelancers, and can help you keep more of that hard-earned money!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.termsandconditions.co\/?utm_source=adorama&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=grow_your_business_se_tax\"><span class=\"s2\">Terms and Conditions<\/span><\/a>, we are passionate about enabling your business to thrive.
