Hope the surgery is minor and that all goes well.

LMB, you still have way more patience than I do for some person who has evidently NOT bothered to read everything and has no clue what they're talking about. Does that patience come with age and dang it..... when will I find it????

You pay Social Security and Medicare taxes when you pay your Federal income taxes. It is commonly referred to as self-employment tax. That's what he's talking about.

 

The quarterly taxes covers the fica, put aside 10-15% of your check each week and it should be plenty to cover that.
