I only have about $1700 liability this year - why doesnt it reduce to zero ?
Best answer by Vanessa11_2

If you look at line 11a on your 1040, your credit cannot be more than that amount.  It cannot reduce your self-employment tax.

Nope, credits do not reduce SE Tax.  Refundable credits offset what you have to pay, but do not reduce the actual SE tax.
