If you went through the section originally to defer the se tax, then you will need to go back through the section and re-answer the questions on the covid opportunity to defer se taxes to defer $0. If you do not enter 0 for the amount of se tax you wish to defer, the software assumes it is the full amount since you are in that section of the return. So, find the question asking you how much se tax you wish to defer and enter 0, so it will not calculate any.
Originally you could have "skip"ped that section to avoid it altogether, but once you have gone into it, you must be sure the answers are correct.
