Wait have we switched places?

 

Only schedule A is itemizing. The schedule I was referring to is D which is for stock market trading. I'll see how this year goes, if we end up owning a stupid amount of money, I'll demand we use a CPA next year.

DAY SAVED! @Polar Bear forgot his credit card at home before leaving to Canada.

 

jesus christ I owe how much on my mturk earnings???!!!!!!?!

 

Yeah, I'd definitely recommend a CPA then, likely to save money in the end. Not sure why your husband would mind, you'll get the money back. You'll be less stressed. Win win all around.

 

the irony is not lost on me

 

Yeah, that's where doing the schedule helps, you can reduce that. Also, your husband can increase his withholding in the future to offset.

 

I did it yesterday, it was actually fun. top bonus is $1.40, kind of guaranteed if you have proper partner.

we did increase his withholdings last year to cover it. I haven't gotten to the part where I know if it's enough yet. I was just amazing that 8,813.71 gets taxed 1,245.34.....just seems an absurd amount

 

14.129577669335616%

That seems about right to me.

 

rounding errors, it was 15.3% I never realized that was the rate

 

7%+7% or as a random thing from google says

"Self employment taxes are comprised of two parts: Social Security and Medicare. You will pay 6.2 percent and your employer will pay Social Security taxes of 6.2 percent on the first $128,400 of your covered wages. You each also pay Medicare taxes of 1.45 percent on all your wages - no limit. If you are self-employed, your Social Security tax rate is 12.4 percent and your Medicare tax is 2.9 percent on those same amounts of earnings but you are able to deduct the employer portion. You will pay an additional 0.9% Medicare tax on the amount that your annual income exceeds $200,000 for single filers, $250,000 for married filing jointly, and $125,000 married filing separate. "

It ends up being pretty damn close to 14%.

 

Anyone else feel that earthquake? Damn.

 

No?

 

wtf where?
