The first step is to calculate how much you earned on UpWork in the past year. To do this, simply add up all of the money you made from clients in the last 12 months.

Once you have your total, multiply that number by 0.965 to account for UpWork’s fees. This is the amount you will need to report on your taxes.

The next step is to determine which tax bracket you fall into. The tax bracket is the percentage of tax you will pay on your income. The tax brackets for the 2019 tax year are as follows:

PRO TIP: If you are an Upwork freelancer, it is important to report your income on your taxes. Depending on the country you reside in, there may be different tax laws that apply to online work. Be sure to research the tax laws in your country before completing your tax return.

If you do not report your Upwork income on your taxes, you may be subject to penalties and interest charges. In some cases, you may even be prosecuted for tax evasion. Therefore, it is important to ensure that you are correctly reporting your Upwork income on your taxes.

10% for incomes up to $9,525
12% for incomes between $9,526 and $38,700
22% for incomes between $38,701 and $82,500
24% for incomes between $82,501 and $157,500
32% for incomes between $157,501 and $200,000
35% for incomes between $200,001 and $500,000
37% for incomes over $500,000

Once you know which tax bracket you fall into, you can calculate how much taxes you owe on your UpWork income. To do this, simply multiply your UpWork earnings by your tax bracket percentage. For example, if you earned $10,000 on UpWork in the last year and you fall into the 10% tax bracket, you would owe $1,000 in taxes on your UpWork earnings ($10,000 x 0.1 = $1,000).

The final step is to report your UpWork earnings on your taxes. To do this, simply include your UpWork earnings in your total income when filing your taxes. You can find instructions on how to do this on the IRS website.

If you have any questions about how to report UpWork income on taxes or about taxes in general, you should consult with a tax professional or an accountant. They will be able to help you ensure that you are correctly reporting your income and that you are paying the correct amount of taxes.
