We deduct business expenses from the gross income amount. We also deduct charitable donations, yes. After all deductions and adjustments we end up owing over $2,000 each year for federal income tax, and a couple hundred for state income tax.

Self-employed people pay double tax because they are paying both the employer and employee portions of Social Security and Medicare.
