Self-employment taxes can be confusing, especially if you’re new to gig work or side hustles. Whether you drive for Uber, deliver for DoorDash, braid hair, sell online, or operate a small business, understanding how your taxes work is essential. In 2025, more Georgians than ever are earning income outside of traditional jobs, making tax education extremely important.
Self-employed individuals are responsible for both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes, also known as SE tax. Additionally, independent contractors receive 1099 forms—or they must track their income themselves if paid through apps or cash. Failing to report this income can lead to IRS letters or penalties. Proper bookkeeping, receipt tracking, and quarterly payments can help you avoid unexpected tax bills.
