How 1099 quarterly tax works in Alaska
Self-employed workers pay the full 15.3% Social Security + Medicare (the "self-employment tax") on 92.35% of profit, plus federal income tax, plus no Alaska state income tax. The IRS expects this in four estimated payments rather than a single April bill. Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax — and residents receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend on top.
Frequently asked questions
How much should I set aside for taxes as a 1099 contractor in Alaska?
It depends on profit, but as a rough guide a single filer with $60,000 of net 1099 profit in Alaska owes about $12,037 total for 2026 — roughly $3,009 per quarter. That covers 15.3% self-employment tax, federal income tax, and no state income tax (one of the no-tax states). Use the tool for your numbers.
When are 2026 quarterly taxes due?
Federal estimated taxes for 2026 are due April 15, June 15 and September 15, 2026, and January 15, 2027. Pay federal with IRS Form 1040-ES; most states have their own estimated-tax vouchers with similar dates.
What counts as profit?
Your 1099 / self-employment income minus legitimate business expenses (software, equipment, mileage, home office, etc.). Self-employment tax and income tax apply to profit, not gross revenue — so tracking deductions directly lowers what you owe.
Does Alaska charge state income tax on 1099 income?
No — Alaska has no state income tax, so you only owe federal SE tax and federal income tax. Alaska has no state income tax and no state sales tax — and residents receive an annual Permanent Fund Dividend on top.
