"Sch SE-T: Max Deferral line 20 should be blank." "Max deferral line 20: 0." Still says I need to fix it. What am i missing?

I am not sure whether you want to claim the deferral or delete the entry.

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, I have left the dollar amount that was previously entered, others change this amount to $0.
• Click on Continue.
• At the screen Tell us how much you'd like to defer, delete the dollar amount.
• 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.

Hey James,

I'm having the same issue after trying selecting No to the tax deferral, the review prompts the form SE-T line 20 which automatically gets a 0. which corresponds to the 0.00 on the self-employment tax deferral under deductions and credits. I am unable to pass the review. Attached is an imagine to illustrate

Let me clarify your situation.  If, at the screen Do you want more time to pay your self-employment tax?, you click Yes.

Does the screen say It looks like you're not eligible for this deferral.

Or does it say Let's start by getting your eligible income?
