I have done a lot of research on self employment taxes, and have the following information from ehow.com: Instructions
STEP 1: Figure out your net income from self-employment. Net income is typically your total business receipts minus your total business deductions. STEP 2: Multiply your net income from self-employment by 0.9235 (or 92.35 percent). STEP 3: Multiply the amount of your net earnings that is $76,200 or less by 0.153 Add your two answers together. This is your self-employment tax. STEP 4: Report your self-employment tax on Schedule SE of the 1040. Tips & Warnings
You can deduct half of your self-employment tax in determining your adjusted gross income. Do this in the Adjustments section of the 1040.

My question is WHERE do I deduct the 1/2 of the self employment tax?

I will be working 40 hours a week at 8$ an hour. How can I figure out how much tax to take out of each pay check?

The second question about working 40 hrsweek for 8hr that doesnt sound like selfemployment if you anticipate owing tax computed from schedule se for 8hr that doesnt sound like selfemployment if you owe when you owe.
