Ordinary income $30,000
Short-term capital gain $18,000
Guaranteed payment $36,000
What is his self-employment income?
A. $48,000
B. $84,000
C. $36,000
D. $66,000
As per the relevant provosions, both incomes received from partnership (distributive share of partnership and guaranteed payment) will form part of self-employement income and is liable to self employement tax.
However, Short term capital gains dosen't form part of self employement income.

Total self employement income = $66,000
Hence, the correct answer is D) $66,000
