Please explain how you are filing a return with self-employment income if you have a W-2.  Or did you receive self-employment income AND income reported on a W-2?

The income was from the United Nations which does not issue W-2s so I entered the income on form 4852 (substitute W-2).  The TurboTax program did not calc Social Security or Medicare taxes and I didn't  spot that problem and went ahead and filed the tax return with that error which was later reported back to me.  I have opened an Amended Tax Return but can't find a way to calculate SE taxes on the 4852 income.

In an Amended return, how can I calculate SE taxes on form 4852 (Substitute W-2)income?

In the W-2 section you will indicate you need to complete the substitute  W-2 and pay the SE taxes ... review the W-2 section again ... if you indicate this correctly the program will complete the SE form for you automatically ...  #1 TT rule is read all the screens carefully ...
