Where are you seeing that? Did you enter a W-2 or 1099Misc?

I entered my W-2 form on my own on the app. But I’m wanting to add a 1098-T form to add my tuition . I’m wondering if I can still add the 1098 form at another tax place like h&r or other places. Or If I amend , I’ll have to read more into it.

Did you report your income from a W2 or 1099 Misc? If from a 1099 Misc form, this indicates that you were a contractor and not an employee that is subject to self-employment tax.

Also if you were a W2 employee, check Box 13 on your W2 to make sure you did not indicate you are a statutory employee. Check your physical W2 and the entry made in your return.

Statutory employees are also subject to self-employment taxes.
