**What is a Schedule SE? **

Use Schedule SE (Form 1040) to figure the tax due on net earnings from self-employment. The Social Security Administration (SSA) uses the information from Schedule SE to figure your benefits under the social security program. This tax applies no matter how old you are and even if you are already getting social security or Medicare benefits.

Who must file Schedule SE?

According to the IRS, you must file a Schedule SE if: 

• The amount on line 4c of Schedule SE is $400 or more, or

• You had church employee income of $108.28 or more. (Income from services you performed as a minister, member of a religious order, or Christian Science practitioner isn’t church employee income.) See Employees of Churches and Church Organizations, later.

Exception to filing Schedule SE. If you filed Form 4029 or Form 4361 and received IRS approval, you may not need to file Schedule SE. See Ministers, Members of Religious Orders, and Christian Science Practitioners and Members of Certain Religious Sects, later, for information on how to report your self-employment earnings.

*Disclaimer: In the case of any in season changes to Schedule SE, refer to the IRS Instructions for Schedule SE. *
