Your self-employment tax comes out of your refund like this:

Tax is figured (line 56, 1040)

Self-Employment tax is figured (line 57) and added to regular tax (line 63)

Withholdings and other payments (line 74) are subtracted (line 75).

Your refund already has the self-employment tax taken into account.
