So I don't need to input the number anywhere? Because everything I've read sounds like I need to. Here's an example as to why I am confused:
"Then you would report one-half of your self-employment tax, $2,473, ($4,945 X .50) on Form 1040 as an adjustment to income, which reduces your Adjusted Gross Income and the amount of income tax you owe."
It sounds like I have to back track and put that number somewhere to get the deduction. Is it just describing what someone does if they are filling out paper taxes not doing it online? I wish they said somewhere that online does it automatically lol. Thanks for the help!
