Your tax picture

You ran a business that netted $92,000 in 2025 and filed as a sole proprietor. After deductions, your total federal tax was $19,070—about 24% of your income.

The biggest piece is self-employment tax. You claimed the QBI deduction, but a few expenses you had already paid never made the return, and several current-year moves are still available.
