Get your taxes done using TurboTax

To resolve this issue, try two troubleshooting steps:

First, revisit the section for the Self-employment tax deferral entry by following these steps:

1. Return to the Deductions & Credits section.
2. Scroll to Tax relief related to COVID-19 and Show More.
3. Select Self-employment tax deferral and select Revisit.
4. Answer Yes at the next screen to get back to Let's start by getting your eligible income.
   1. If you do not want to defer any self-employment income, "Enter your eligible self-employment income" should be blank.
      1. Select Continue.
   2. At Tell us how much you'd like to defer, "Enter amount" should be blank.
      1. Select Continue.
5. Scroll down and select Wrap up Tax Breaks and Continue.
6. At Charitable Cash Contributions under Cares Act, if you made cash donations to eligible organizations, enter the amount up $300 for married filing jointly ($150 for single) and Continue. Otherwise, leave this section blank, do not add 0 if this is not applicable.
7. I recommend running through the Federal Review again.

Secondly, if the error is still in the return:

1. Delete the Sch SE that applies--(Sch SE-T is for Taxpayer, Sch SE-S for Spouse)--by following these steps:
   1. From the left menu, select Tax Tools.
   2. Select Tools.
   3. Scroll to Delete a Form.
   4. Scroll to Sch SE-T and/or Sch SE-S and select Delete Selected Form and Continue.
2. Return to Deductions & Credits and scroll down to Tax relief related to COVID-19.
   1. Select Self-employment tax deferral and Revisit.
   2. Do you want more time to pay your self-employment tax? select No.
   3. Tell us how much you'd like to defer. Enter zero and Continue.
3. Review the return again.
