This question is associated with the option to defer paying some of your self-employment tax due to Covid.
If you do not want to defer any of the self-employment tax, then enter '0' for line 18 when you see the review question in the error check.
If you do wish to defer paying the self-employment tax, then line 18 is asking for the portion of your Schedule C and/or Schedule F profit that is attributed to March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
To go back to the input screens related to deferring Self-Employment tax if you qualify, look in the Deductions and Credits section of your return. Then find the Tax Relief related to Covid-19 section, then Self-employment tax deferral.
When you click Start or Update beside this section you may see a message that you do not qualify to defer the self-employment tax. If this is the case and you did enter a number during the error check process, then be aware that nothing is being calculated as part of your return as a deferral.
