“No CA state tax was withheld on the $2184 of Non-Employee Compensation income (even though I was their employee and used their equipment to set up their photo booths for their events) but my total income $1155 on W-2 from another company + the 1099 income is still under the Standard Deduction amount of $3769 for CA Residents (even those still claimed on their parents’ taxes) so the Tax Program says I don’t owe anything. I want to pay any taxes my Employer should have taken out, but how?”----> Before this income can be reported on Form 540, it needs to be reported on Form 1040, the federal individual income tax return. As you have income through self-employment work, you might be required to make estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis to CA by filing CA 540ES, rather than paying the entire amount you owe at the end of the year. If you believe you may owe taxes at the end of the year, you may have to pay quarterly estimated taxes during the year or you may want to increase the amount your employer withholds from your pay check. If you're self-employed, you'll probably have to pay estimated taxes.However,unless you are an IC, a self employer, you need to report your income on 1099 on1040 line 21 and do not need to pay quarterly estimated taxes to CA. I guess you can contact the BOE of CA for mor einformation;

ALSO, as long as the amount on Sch SE of 1040 line 4 is $400or exceeds $400, then you must pay self employment tax to the IRS. If you are filing as a sole proprietor and/or a self-employed individual, you generally have to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe tax of $1,000 or more when you file your return.However, you do not have to pay estimated tax for the current year if you had no tax liability for the prior year ;you were a U.S. citizen or resident for the whole year ;your prior tax year covered a 12 month period. As long as your self-employed with earnings of more than $400.00, then you MUST file your federal return.
