Publication 554 for Seniors
The self-employment tax was 15.3% and anyone who paid that full tax can then deduct half of it on their taxes. Normally, employees pay a tax of 7.65% on their income (FICA taxes) and their employers also pay that amount for a combined tax of 15.3%. Self-employed workers need to pay the whole tax but can then deduct the employer portion on their federal tax return. Use Schedule SE to calculate your self-employment tax and Schedule 1 to claim this deduction.
Charitable Contributions
Taxpayers can deduct charitable donations, though the rules vary. You will need cash amounts, official charity receipts, canceled checks, value of donated property, and miles driven, and out of pocket expenses. One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)
