Barbers pay taxes differently, depending on their specific title within the barbershop. Here are the most common types of barbers and how they pay taxes:

Barber Shop Owner. A barber shop owner is responsible for an employee's:
- Federal Income Tax
- Social Security Tax
- Medicare Tax

Employers also must pay any liability for their share of Social Security and Medicare taxes.

Barber Shop Employee. A barber shop employee is responsible for their portion of state and federal taxes. Employers provide barber employees with a W-2 tax form that details their income.

Barber Contractor. A barber contractor is responsible for reporting their income earned and any expenses accrued. For instance, a sole proprietorship should file a 1040 tax form using Schedule C to report business income, any expenses accrued and Schedule SE to report Self-Employment tax.
