I am having the same problem.  During the review process, it made me fill out a worksheet and now it won't let me choose to not defer the self employment tax payments.

Your self-employment income may be eligible for a portion of your self-employment tax to be deferred.  See this TurboTax Help.

 

In TurboTax Online Self-Employed, I was able to enter a self-employment tax deferral and pass Review.  Then I was able to remove self-employment tax deferral and pass Review.

 

Follow these steps.

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click on Deductions  & credits.
  • Under Your tax breaks, scroll down to Self-employment tax deferral.
  • Click on Edit/Add to the right of Self-employment tax deferral.
  • At the screen Do you want more time to pay your self-employment tax?, click Yes.
  • At the screen Let's start by getting your eligible income, leave the dollar amount you previously entered.
  • Click on Continue.
  • At the screen Tell us how much you'd like to defer, change the dollar amount to $0.
  • Click Continue.
  • Click through Federal Review to make sure than the Review issue has been removed.
  • At the screen Some of your self-employment taxes may be eligible, click Skip.

Thanks @JamesG1  !  That worked for me.   I've been having an issue on the website where I couldn't get the Needs Review to go away for one of my income sources.  When I used the app on my phone it had me fill in some worksheets and that's when the issue started.  Now it's back to the way it should be.

This would be the Schedule SE.  Refer to the following Help Article for assistance with deleting forms:  How do I view and delete forms in TurboTax Online?
