I have been an employee since the start of my career and never had to worry about taxes. For some time I have been entertaining the thought of taking an IC position on the side, but then I was told that as a self-employed person I would be carrying 35% tax liability. That scared me out of my wits. I am sure this does not apply literally, but I want to know how things would pan out for an IC who earns $45,000 in a calendar year. How would you break things up as expenses in general and what would you ultimately pay in taxes? Just a rough idea if the members could.
