I get a K1 from my S-Corp, where do I enter SEP contribution?

I'm using TurboTax Self-Employed. I get a K-1 from my S-Corp where I'm self-employed. How/where do I enter a SEP contribution? I found something under business deductions, but it doesn't accept any data...

As a shareholder in an S corporation, you are not self employed.  Social Security and Medicare taxes are withheld from your pay reported on your W-2.  Your SEP-IRA contribution is also not reportable on your personal tax return because your SEP IRA contribution is made by the S corporation based on your W-2-reported income and deducted as an expense on the S corporation's income tax return.

There is no reason for these to appear on your Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S).  Your Social Security and Medicare withholding are reported on your W-2.  Your SEP-IRA contribution might also be shown on your W-2, but only for your information, not for reporting anywhere on your personal tax return.

If the S Corp has a loss for 2022, can the SEP IRA contribution still be expensed?  Thank you.
