I did a little thing over 3 months of summer (I was 18) I was doing landscaping. I got a letter in the mail, saying I owed on the money I make. I have no idea how much I have to pay I am freaking out. I made 11735.50 in 2006, and In 2007 I worked off and on I made 23232.89. I was self emplyed both times. I drove around 30k miles. I am not married nor do I have kids.

Have you talked with a Tax accountant yet? They can really help you, and the stress on you will be greatly reduced. Their fee is tax deductible. -- Ace

No, I have not talked with a tax accountant. Is that like H&R block? Thanks!

Hi, EJMAN123!

I'm sure that one of our tax experts will be along eventually to advise you. They are quite excellent in the advice that they give.

It just might take them some time to get around to addressing your question.


Thanks!

You must file your 2006 and 2007 tax return. On the tax due you will also pay interest and penalty.

Figure out your income and business related expenses. You can deduct business related expenses.
You are self employed or independent contractor. You will report your income and expenses on schedule C or C-EZ (Form 1040). This income is subject to SE tax at 15.3%.

Any competent tax professional can prepare your returns in a day or so. If you want MY help, email me at [email protected].

You should be able to deduct the mileage incurred while working the landscape job, which will greatly reduce your tax liability.
