Fema Employment

How do I know if the IRS received my tax forms and they were correct?

I am self-employed and was told I had to pay a self-employment tax. I went to hrblock.com and tried to e-file, but they said I couldn't but the forms were filled out and I had to mail them in. So I did, but they said I only had to pay $100 to my state for taxes. Someone else told me that is not right and that I am to pay self-employment federal taxes. HRblock filled out the forms for me but there was $0 for self-employment tax. I made over $8,000 last year. How do I know if the IRS received my forms and they are correct? I don't want to get in trouble for not paying self-employment taxes if I was meant to!

1. If you don't hear from them for three years, you were correct.
2. Here is what you need to do: 1. did you report your self employed income on Schedule C? 2. even through you have $8,000 income, how much was your expense deduction? Do you still show profit after all the deductions? 3. self-employment tax is calculated base on the net profit, not the gross. So maybe you have a loss after all the deductions. That's why you don't have to pay self-employment tax. To find out about your return status, you can call the IRS. You can find the number from www.irs.gov. If you think you make a mistake, once you are sure that the IRS posted your original return in the system, you can file 1040X to amend the original return with the correct information.
