Determine self-employment, income, and highway use taxes for truck drivers, owner-operators, and small fleet owners.

Most truck drivers, including owner-operators and small fleet owners, are considered self-employed by the IRS and are responsible for paying their own taxes. This Truck Tax Calculator helps them estimate the 15.3% self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare, along with potential federal income tax based on estimated trucker income. Truckers may also be subject to the Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT) and quarterly estimated payments throughout the year, among other responsibilities. This free self-employment tax calculator, courtesy of 1-800Accountant, America's leading virtual accounting firm, helps independent truckers understand their potential tax liability and plan ahead for quarterly or annual filings.
