You're Self-employed

 

You're self-employed if you operate a trade, business or profession, either by yourself or as a partner.

You report your earnings for Social Security when you file your federal income tax return. If your net earnings are $400 or more in any year, you must report your earnings on Schedule SE for Social Security purposes, in addition to the other tax forms you must file.
