Important Information on Filing Taxes
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) states that you must pay self-employment (SE) tax and file
Schedule SE (Form 1040) if either of the following applies:
• You had net earnings from self-employment that were $400 or more.
• You had church employment income of $108.28 or more.
Why pay Self-Employment Taxes?
Social Security benefits are available to self-employed persons just as they are to wage earners. Your
payments of self-employment tax contribute to your coverage under Social Security. By not reporting all
of your self-employment income, you could cause Social Security benefits to be lower when you retire.

individual owes and may be returned to you in the form of a tax refund.
