Best Answer

Social Security tax or self-employment tax is not payable on capital gains. You may also get a reduced rate based on how long you owned the property. I strongly suggest that you go to a professional tax preparer to complete a return with a property sale. You will report this using form 1040 and Schedule D for the property sale if it was not used in a business. If it was used in farming or other business use this will change the forms you are required to file.

Can you file your taxes together if you are married but do not have the same last name?

Sure you can just be sure and enter your name correctly as it listed on your social security card and your social security number correctly from your social security card. And it does not make any difference who is listed first as the primary taxpayer on the 1040 federal income tax return.

Self Employment Tax?

Self employment tax is the payment of Social Security and Medicare taxes for those having more than $400.00 of self employment income per year. The self employment tax is in addition to any income tax the self employed individual may owe. Just as employees must have a percentage of their gross income withheld to pay their Social Security and Medicare taxes, a self employed taxpayer must pay Social Security and Medicare taxes also. For the calendar year 2011, the Social Security tax is 10.4%, plus 2.9% for Medicare taxes. Since there is no employer to pay _ of the tax, the self employed individual must pay the entire amount. Any self employment income above $106,800 is not subject to self employment tax. The tax is calculated and reported on Schedule SE. However, the individual must first complete Schedule C Profit or Loss from Business, or other appropriate schedule to report self employment income. The gross amount of self employment income is not taxed, as the taxpayer may have deductions that reduce gross self employment income. These deductions may be vehicle expenses, utilities, meals and entertainment, depreciation of equipment, professional fees and licenses, etc. If the business has a net loss, no self employment tax will be owed. Interest, dividends, rents and royalties are not subject to the self employment tax. Capital gains are not subject to the tax either. Self employment tax must be paid even if the individual is receiving Social Security retirement benefits. Once the net profit or loss is calculated, profit is reported on Schedule SE. Only 92.35% is used to calculate the self employment tax. After that is deducted, 13.3% of that amount is what is owed for the self employment tax. The IRS provides a deduction equal to _ of the self employment tax owed. This deduction may be used whether or not the taxpayer itemizes deductions or uses the standard deduction. The tax is paid with income taxes owed. Self employment tax must be paid even if the individual is receiving Social Security retirement benefits. If the taxpayer expects to owe more than $1,000 for taxes, including the self employment tax, they must estimate their tax obligation and make payments to the IRS four times per year. Many self employed individuals are required to make estimated tax payments. The estimate should be based on income tax and self employment tax together.

At age 67 do you still pay income tax on social security and retirement?

The amount of income tax you pay on Social Security and retirement income depends on your total income and filing status. Generally, if your combined income exceeds a certain threshold, a portion of your Social Security benefits may be subject to income tax. It is advisable to consult with a tax professional or refer to IRS guidelines for specific information regarding your situation.


If your only income is Social Security do you need to file tax returns?

Perhaps. It depends on whether you have enough non-Social Security income to be required to file an income tax return. Also, for 2007 and, possibly, 2008, you may qualify for an economic stimulus rebate, but only if you file a return. You can find a form on the internet or at the library. Just because IRS didn't send you a form, doesn't mean you are exempt from filing.

Is social security optional?

Not really. Some religious groups have been allowed to opt out of the program, but short of that it's pretty much mandatory. (The groups that have been allowed to opt out have a long-established tradition of providing for their own elderly, so that social security was for them effectively something they'd already been doing on their own for decades. You can't just say "it's against my religion" and get out of it.)
