So, I draw art online, and over the past six months, I've made $1,330.99, and would hypothetically owe $203.64. I just turned 18 this year, so I've never paid taxes before. So if this is my first time paying taxes at all, how does the self-employment tax work?. Everything I've seen on the matter says that I need to pay quarterly self employment tax if i expect to owe more than $1000. Or that my estimated taxes are based on what i made last year. I fit neither of the 2 parameters, so do I still need to pay my quarterly tax?

    sorry if this is poorly formatted btw.

    First time paying self employment tax help.

      You may owe SE tax. You can deduct the cost of materials yourself on Sch C, assuming you have records, and only the profit is taxed.
