7 Part-Time Jobs Retirees Actually Enjoy Doing

Self-Employment Taxes

If you take a job as an employee (receiving a W-2), your employer splits payroll taxes with you. However, if you work as a freelancer, consultant, or gig worker (receiving a 1099), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers you self-employed.

You will be responsible for the full 15.3% self-employment tax, which covers both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare taxes. You must also remember to make quarterly estimated tax payments to avoid underpayment penalties.

    Hello there! My name is A. Atkins. I am a Senior seeking a part time job. I enjoy typing and
    data entry. Are there any of those jobs available anymore? I miss typing for a living. The last
    position that I held was very enjoyable because I could use those skills. Please let me know how
    to apply as I am truly interested. Thank you.
