The IRS wants self-employed people to pay taxes 4 times a year. Here's what to send each quarter:
Track ingredients, packaging, supplies, etc. These lower the amount you owe in taxes.
When you work for yourself, you pay both the employer and employee share of Social Security & Medicare taxes — that's 15.3% of your profit. This is on top of regular income tax.
If you expect to owe more than $1,000 in taxes for the year, the IRS wants you to make quarterly payments. The due dates are:
Q1: April 15 Q2: June 15
Q3: September 15 Q4: January 15 (next year)
You can pay online at irs.gov/payments — use "Estimated Tax" or IRS Direct Pay.
You can deduct things you buy FOR the business:
• Ingredients (flour, sugar, butter, etc.)
• Packaging & boxes
• Baking supplies & tools
• Delivery costs / gas for drop-offs
• Business portion of your phone bill
• Facebook/Instagram ad costs
• Kitchen equipment
• Labels, stickers, branding materials
