So I do this on the side and made $9000. So would i pay roughly 15.3% social security than would it be 10% of 9000 because of the bracket? I have a regular job also that get's taxed with each paycheck also. Thanks for your help

You have to file a schedule C form to report your self-employment income along with your other employment. Like what M @Mikey Chlanda said, one of the free online programs like FreeTaxUSA will be able to do all of the calculating for you.

both 15.3% and your fed income tax rate, which might be more than 10% and into another tax bracket depending on how much income your regular job and other non-turk income sources amount to.

Schedule C ("business" income), Schedule SE for self employment income, and you should do estimated tax payments quarterly for the turk income unless your regular job way overholds from you that the tax owed on your turk income can be covered by the regular job overwithholding without risking a penalty for underpayment of taxes during the year.

The 15.3 social security tax is separate from the Fed income tax. The SS comes off the top - every dollar you net self-empolyed gets taxed at this rate up to $133,000 or so. What income tax bracket you belong depneds on how much you made in other self-employment, mturk, and your day job. It could be 10%, it could be 42% if you're a doc or some other high earner. More liekly somewhere in the middle. You may want to consult with a tax pro before they get uber busy.
Also, the IRS generally issues a penalty if you don't pay most of your tax liability by Jan 31, or don't file quarterlys. You prob. should ask about this too....if you're making 9K off mturk plus a day job, you might need to file quarterlys. Or adjust your witholding at your day job to account for mturk income.
Hope this helps

And local! If you live in a muncipality of any size, chances are they have an income tax too

thank you for reminding me i get extra reamed.

while i have no local city or county personal income taxes, i owe gross receipt taxes of almost 8% since my state charges it on goods AND services performed, not just goods.

Broken, wrote to requester...irritating. I don't know if people actually test these to make sure they work sometimes.

Yes, I was able to do the study, but told, like other people, that the picture chosen was incorrect. You didn't get this message?

Thanks! My pyro cats would be "OMG THAT ORANGE LIGHT LOOKS AWESOME." **touches** "OMG MOM WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO HUUURTTT". They lean toward the dramatic.
Also, typed my age wrong twice already and marked the date as December 2021.
