Self Employment tax added to farm income

[arnieg53]

Self Employment tax added to farm income even though we did not materially participate in running the farm, the crop shares you got as rent are farm rental income.  The did not boxes are checked in the Schedule F and Form 4835.

How can I delete it?  Alternatively, could the Farm Income and Rental that I added be deleted s I can start again?

If you simply rented farm land but did not participate in the farm activity then you can report the rental income on Schedule E and it won't be subject to self-employment tax. You can do that in the business section by choosing Rental Property and Royalties as the type of business. 

You can delete your Schedule F and that will remove your farm entries as follows:

1. Choose the Tax Tools option on your left menu bar while working on your return

2. Choose Tools

3. Choose the Delete a form option under Other Helpful links 

4. Find the schedule F in the list and delete it

Thanks Thomas:

I deleted both schedule F and Form 4835 and reentered my farm data.

No Self-Employed tax!
