    Payable tax 9.154, equal to the tax deduction 9,154

    Explanation:

    Net earnings from self-employment is $135.000

    Multiply earnings by 92.3%

    = 135.000 * 0.9235

    = 124.672,5

    If the amount after multiplication is in excess of $118.500, in such case the excess of amount over 118.500 should be multiplied by 2.9%

    = 124.672,5 > 118.500

    The difference between both amounts is 179.

    Add: to the above amount tax on social security portion and medicare portion 15.3%$ on 118.500 which is the ceiling limit.

    118.500 * 15.3%

    =18.130.5 + 179

    =18309.5

    Therefore, the tax is 18309.5

    Deduction of 50% on the tax can be claimed

    Therefore, deduction is 9.154.

    Thus, the tax payer can be benefited from the self-assessment tax deduction.
