I do this all the time but my accountant deals with it.
Separate but related: Just don’t freelance for any agency under the same holding company as your fulltime job or payroll will notify them.
It matters because the correct withholding of tax dues is dependent on your total income, not just for each job. It's possible that the income from this second gig pushes you into a higher tax bracket. If so, it creates the possibility for a large tax bill come April if not enough was withheld by the employers over the course of the year's paychecks.
Only the amount that goes over the “tax bracket” will be charged the % of that tax bracket.
Tax bracket at $50k is 50% (example)
You made $55k.
You’ll get taxes at 50% for the $5k above $50k, and then a different % for the money under $50k.
NOT 50% for the whole $55k.
I would say.. 30%-40% goes to taxes if you’re W9. You charge $10k, you’ll get $10k in your bank account. No taxes have been taken out. Your tax preparer will charge a little extra for the extra work. this doesn’t sound like what you did.
If you’re W2, you typically just add both together. Why? W2 means your an employee. Taxes are already taken out for you before it gets to your paycheck. You can’t really deduct anything here. You’re an employee..
