The self-employment tax was 15.3% and anyone who paid that full tax can then deduct half of it on their taxes. Normally, employees pay a tax of 7.65% on their income (FICA taxes) and their employers also pay that amount for a combined tax of 15.3%. Self-employed workers need to pay the whole tax but can then deduct the employer portion on their federal tax return.
