How 1099 tax works in New York
New York taxes income on 9 graduated brackets for 2026, from 4% up to 10.9%. Because 1099 profit stacks on top of any other income, a second source can push part of it into the next bracket.
On top of that sits the federal layer, which is the same wherever you live: self-employment tax plus federal income tax. The 1099 tax calculator hub works through how that half is built.
