You are correct. You aren’t required to pay SE tax when any of the following applies:
You are subject only to the social security laws of a foreign country under the provisions of a social security agreement between the United States and that country.
This is how to correct your situation:
- Business
- Business Taxes...start
- Self-employment tax...start
- Make adjustments
- Enter your profit in the box "Other SE Nonfarm Profit (loss)" Enter it as a negative.
