Answer:

  • Self employment tax liability = $‭22,323.97
  • Additional Medicare tax liability = $0

Explanation:

According to the IRS, the amount subject to self-employment tax is 92.35% of net income from self-employment for the year.

Alice's taxable income is:

= 92.35% * 196,000

= $181,006

Self employment tax-liability:

Social security tax for 2020 is 12.4% for the first $137,700 of income.

= 12.4% * 137,700

= $17,074.80

Medicare tax:

= 2.9% on taxable income

= 2.9% * 181,006

= $‭5,249.17

Self-employment tax is:

= 17,074.80 + 5,249.17

= $‭22,323.97

Additional Medicare tax applies on only amounts above $200,000 so it is $0 in this case.
