<human>:  How do I file taxes as a self-employed person?
<bot>: To file taxes as a self-employed person, you will need to file a 1040 Schedule C form, which reports the profits and losses of your business. You may also need to complete and submit a 1099-MISC form, which reports any payment you received from an outside business. In addition, you may be required to pay self-employment taxes. These taxes are part of Social Security and Medicare and are in addition to income taxes that you must pay. Be sure to check with a tax professional before filing your taxes as a self-employed individual to ensure you are properly completing your tax return.
