If somebody operates as your EOR (Employer of Record) your self employment tax goes away! You also get taxes deducted out of each pay check allowing for a much easier budgeting situation. Let me know if you have any additional questions.

"Self-employment tax" is a euphemism for having to pay both the employer and the employee portions of the payroll tax. There is no separate tax levied on the self-employed.

The OP would need to find someone to both become their employer of record AND pay the employer portion of their payroll taxes.
