That is not how I read it. The state is allowing you to deduct the amount on line 6, but a year in arrears.
I looked at the instructions for 2022, and as I recall, they said the same thing but with the years adjusted so that you could deduct a payment made in 2022 for self-employment tax generated for 2021.
What the instructions don't suggest is that the current year (2023) self-employment tax should be automatically transferred to Line 6 of the 2023 AL tax return. Therefore, TurboTax is operating correctly.
