Your self-employment income may be eligible for a portion of your self-employment tax to be deferred. See this TurboTax Help.
Line 18 of Schedule SE states: 'Enter the portion...that can be attributed to March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020." It is asking for the portion of your self-employment income that can be attributed to that period of time.
