It depends on where you're based, what your salary is, and whether you have side gigs. If you are a US citizen working abroad or an expat working temporarily in the USA for instance, your tax return would be filed with the IRS through Form 2555 Taxable Income From Sources Outside of the United States. This is known as "non-resident alien" taxation. If you are not a US citizen but residing overseas permanently, this could be done with Form 1040NR U.S.

It is the freelancer's responsibility to calculate their freelance tax based on income. You can use this calculator below to estimate your self-employment tax, which includes the federal income tax, social security and Medicare taxes. I recommend using Turbotax Software which also has a "Quick Start" option for new users. It prompts you with questions about expenses/income during the year, providing helpful insights in how it calculates your state and federal tax returns.

The IRS has detailed instructions for how to calculate self-employment taxes. Here are some bullet points on how it breaks down. You need to pay your social security and Medicare taxes if you earn $400 or more. Social Security tax is 12.4% of wages up to $132,900, but that's less than the standard rate because you only pay half of the Social Security tax (6.2%) on your earnings up to $117,000 total for 2018 - this sets aside money for retirement planning by lowering your tax liability now so you could be taxed higher in future years when it's time to retire.

Taxes can be a confusing and complicated subject. There are so many options when it comes to tax deductions that it's not always easy to determine which ones apply to freelance profits. For example, freelancers who purchase health insurance for themselves or their family (even if they're insured through the company they work for) may qualify for a deduction on their taxes. Freelancers should keep an accurate record of all money received and report this amount in the category where the taxpayer reports income from self-employment (namely Form 1040 Schedule C). If you do not itemize your deductions, you will need to use standard deduction pro rata based on your filing status and whether you could be claimed as a dependent.

Answer: The taxation of freelance work can be a rather complicated affair. All income, including that from freelancing should be reported to H.R.P.A. (Housing and Revenue Policy Association).
However, it is not necessary to pay taxes on the date of receipt; freelancers may advance their own payments to the IRS or delay payment if they choose by putting these funds in an escrow account with a Federal institution before June 30th of each year: "Electing simply means choosing not to receive cash for your services and instead paying taxes and contributing Social Security and Medicare withholdings upfront at different rates."
