As a new 1099 contractor am I taxed at the 15.3% self employed rate or at my current yearly W2 filing status rate 22% before I began 1099 work, or both together? I need to know so I can make quarterly payments.

Not A Product Question

Self-employment tax is in addition to ordinary income tax. When you are self-employed you pay self-employment tax for Social Security and Medicare, since that is not being withheld from your pay by an employer.

If you live in a state with a state income tax, you might need to make estimated payments to your state.
