forget about what you've read. we'll try again. once you enter your schedule C info, input the self-employment income line from that line on all 1065 k-1's, if you have them and all your w-2 info if you have them, TT will use that info to generate Form 1040-SE which calculates the self-employment tax. it will then take 1/2 of that and put it on schedule 1 line 14 (deduction for SE-Tax). you do nothing with regard to the SE tax or the 50% deduction.
