How is a sole proprietorship taxed on the business?
Starting a business as a sole proprietorship could sound easy. Is it the best way to pay taxes?
What is self-employment tax?
If you have a sole proprietorship business, you must pay self-employment tax. This tax covers your Social Security and Medicare contributions, equal to 15.3% of your net income. The rate is 12.4% for Social Security and 2.9% for Medicare.
Sole proprietorship income tax
As a sole proprietor pays income tax on the profits, you earn from the business. The income tax is based on the owner's tax bracket and the taxable income, which is calculated by subtracting your deductible expenses from your business revenue.
Filing sole proprietorship taxes
Report your sole proprietorship business income and expenses on your 1040 personal tax return under Schedule C and pay both self-employment and income tax. You may also need to pay quarterly federal and state estimated taxes.
Why S Corp instead of the Sole prop?

Frequently asked questions
Sole proprietorship vs. S corp
S corporation may reduce self-employment taxes and provide more qualified tax deductions. A sole proprietorship business is easy to set up but pays self-employment taxes. S corp may demand more paperwork but provide legal protection. Owners of an S corporation should receive officer compensation (w-2) as payroll. S corporations require incorporation or registering an LLC and S corp election.
Sole proprietorship vs. Single-member LLC
Sole proprietorship businesses may pay higher taxes and have no legal protection. Single-member LLC provides the owner with asset protection but does not save taxes unless elected as an S corporation. Net profits from a Sole proprietorship business and Single-member LLC are subject to self-employment tax and are reported in the owner’s personal income tax.
Sole proprietorship vs. C Corporation
Income from a sole proprietorship business is pass-through to the owner’s personal income tax but subject to self-employment tax. A corporation (c corp) is a separate legal entity that provides legal protection to the shareholder’s personal assets. However, there is double taxation on the corporation’s income. A sole proprietorship is generally suitable for side hustles, small-scale operations, and temporary businesses. C corporation is generally an excellent business structure for less profitable asset-accumulating businesses and start-ups expected to raise money and grow fast to go public.
How to calculate self-employment tax?
Self-employment tax calculator:
Multiply your net earnings by 15.3%. For example, if your net earnings are 100K, your self-employment tax is $15,300.

Only the first $$160,200 of earnings is subject to the Social Security portion for the 2023 tax year.
