Yes, if you don't want to defer the taxes, just go through that section, answer the questions and choose 0 as the amount you want to defer.
To go through the interview and edit the amounts you can defer or want to defer:
- Click on Federal from the left menu
- Click on Deductions and Credits from the top menu
- Scroll down and click on See More Tax Breaks if you don't have the full list
- Look for and Review the entries under Tax Relief related to Covid-19.
Click Revisit / Enter / Edit next to Self-Employment (SE) tax deferral. To update the form, answer YES to the first question (even though you don't want to defer these taxes). Enter your eligible earnings and on the next screen, enter 0. TurboTax will calculate the amount you are eligible to defer but you do not have to defer the tax, you can enter 0 in that field, and then you should be able to e-file. If you get an error for the 0 during the review, delete that 0 and leave the field blank. @mtbrady2
