I have to pay estimated tax.

LOL. Have you ever bothered to look up the definition in the IRS code of a "self-employed" person? It is defined as somebody who holds "public office."

Ever been elected to public office?

Self-employed is a term used here on FR that is a well known as a definition of person in a business for themselves.

We all have to re-evaluate English into the language of the IRS when dealing with those level 13 types and their forms.
Boy do I ever agree with you there.

I'm afraid in Spirit politicians are self-employed as you say as well. Sad!
