Freelance is not defined in the tax code. There are various interpretations of what it means, but for the most practical purposes freelance is because you're self employed. Freelancers don't need to file taxes because they prepare their own business' taxes, but having an accountant who knows tax law can also be helpful. Being a freelancer usually does mean you have to pay more in self-employment social security. This will give you access to Medicare and benefits which so far comes with 3% investment in retirement savings deducted from your income (although this isn't always supplemented by additional funds).

The answer to your question largely depends on where you live. The answer to your question largely depends on where you live. Generally speaking, however, professional freelancers are required to charge-out their time at an hourly rate of 15% more than their actual charge-rate because the self-employed must withhold and pay income tax on behalf of the government. That means that $50 for a freelancer who charges $400 would actually be $55 in order for that person to pay 25% in taxes with the remainder spent towards recouping overhead costs like rent or hosting services.

It's possible. Proceeds from freelance work may be taxed depending on where the contract was made and if, for example, it falls under a profit-seeking company. Freelance income is taxable in all circumstances; the only issue is whether or not you get to deduct losses relative to your other types of income (forms W-2, 1099). If your freelance work produced a tax loss and excess medical expenses during the year plus $10,000 for each person over age 65 - then you may qualify to itemize deductions and report this income at zero on your return.

The short answer is yes. Freelancing does pose a tax challenge for both the freelancer and the employer/client, as they both may be required to pay taxes with respect to payments made to or from each other. In some circumstances, the employer might need to withhold payroll taxes from your earnings as if you were an employee. This could include Medicare and Social Security taxes which are automatically deducted from employees' wages but must be reported on Form 1099 MISC by contractors who earn $600 or more within a year.

The short answer is yes. If you take a job online (from home or anywhere), and get paid for it, you get taxed on that income. When freelancers receive checks from their clients, they will see two streams of numbers; one amount in the "Amount" column and one in the "Taxable Income" column and where this money comes from does matter. Just like when W-2 employees work for a company, freelance workers must consider that any time your earnings exceed $400 needed to qualify as independent contractor status with the IRS, then these amounts are subject to taxes--both state and federal.
