Richard Norton is required to pay a self-employment tax based on the net profits of the farm business. Assume that Richard had a net profit of $105,000 from the farm business for year 3 and $10,000 of Section 1231 gain.

Complete Section A of the Form 1040, Schedule SE, for year 3 below by entering the appropriate values in the shaded cells. Round values to the nearest dollar. If a cell should be left empty, enter a zero.

wiley software

sect A:SE

line 4) multiply by .9235 if less than $400...but line 3 is 105000 so y do we multiply by 0.9235??

You multiply by .9235 if line 3 is over zero. However, you
will not pay SE tax if that calculation is under 400. So
any profit you have, you multiply by .9235. Then you figure
if you are subject to SE tax (if that number you come up
with is greater than 400).
