FAQ
How much tax do I pay on 1099 income?
1099 income is subject to self-employment tax (15.3%) plus regular income tax (10-37% based on bracket). Total tax on 1099 income typically ranges from 25-40%. You can deduct half of SE tax and business expenses to reduce taxable income.
What is the 1099-K threshold for 2026?
For 2026, payment apps like PayPal, Venmo, and Cash App must send 1099-K forms if you receive over $600 in payments for goods/services. This doesn't mean new taxes - just new reporting. You still only owe tax on net profit.
Do I need to pay quarterly taxes on 1099 income?
Yes, if you expect to owe $1,000+ in taxes. Quarterly estimated payments are due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15. Use Form 1040-ES. Underpayment may result in penalties even if you pay in full at filing.
