2022 – 07/18 If you’re a “gig worker” or freelancer, your tax obligations are different from an employee’s. You’re considered self-employed, so clients don’t withhold taxes from your payments.

Keep in mind that you may be able to deduct business expenses for gig work, which can lower your income tax liability. It’s essential to keep good records. More information:
