Self-employed workers are responsible for paying taxes directly to the IRS. One way is to make estimated tax payments during the year. The next due date for 2019 is Sept. 16.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act changed the way tax is calculated for those with substantial income not subject to withholding. As a result, many self-employed workers may need to raise or lower the amount of tax they pay each quarter.
