Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You must first make sure that you did not accidently choose the option to defer part of your self-employment tax.

 

In order to delete/change your election to defer your self-employment taxes from your tax return, please follow these steps in TurboTax:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click Federal on the left hand side. 
  3. Click Deductions and Credits on the top of the page.
  4. On the page Tax Breaks, scroll down until you see Tax relief related to Covid-19.
  5. Click Revisit next to Self-employment tax deferral
  6. Answer no to the question Do you want more time to pay self-employment taxes? 

Now that you have elected to opt-out of referring your self-employment taxes, you should not be prompted to enter a referral amount on other TurboTax screens.
