without having the instructions in front of you. You are also not
reading the instructions on the form itself. Line 43 tells you to
subtract (not add) the entry on Line 42 ($3500) from Line 41 to
arrive at Taxable Income. At this point you must go to page 36
(it tells you this) of the instructions to determine how to
calculate your tax.

You can obtain the instructions at:

I am bugged on my 1040 on line 44, where the IRS wants says "Tax" and
explains as good as nothing.

I figured my income after standard deduction with USD 14132 on line
41. Then I have to add USD 3500 to it on line 42?

That makes USD 17245.

On line 44, I should enter the tax but I can't because I find no
fitting tax table.

I figured USD 2977 self-employment taxes, which I have to add
apparently to the other taxes but I don't know how to figure the other
taxes.

Can you give me an advice?

IRS phone line is always busy.

Best wishes,
