Perspective

"Everyone's really self-employed. If you work for a company, you just have one client," says Gregg Fisher, 35, founder of Gerstein Fisher, a New York financial-planning firm. "If they fire you, you're out of business."

The Self-Employment tax is just the other half of Social Security and Medicare. It's not extra at all; employees just don't see it.

Perhaps the IRS gave themselves a marketing problem when they gave it a different name.
