Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am guessing that the option for the self-employment tax deferral was generated at a point when your tax return reflected: 

• A balance due, and
• Self-employment tax due. 

Subsequent entries changed: 

• Your balance due status,
• Your self-employment tax due, or
• Both. 

Can you temporarily return your tax return to the status of: 

• A balance due, and
• Self-employment tax due. 

So that you can access the self-employment tax deferral questions and remove that benefit from your tax return because subsequent entries made that benefit no longer available.

Are you able to go to Forms and override the dollar amount?  If not, try these steps in the Step-by-Step. 

• Across the top of the screen, click on Personal.
• Across the top of the screen, click on Deductions  & credits.
• At the screen How do you want to enter your deductions and credits? click on I'll choose what I work on.
• Under Your 2020 Deductions & Credits, scroll down to Tax relief related to COVID-19.
• Click on Start / Update to the right of Self-employment tax deferral.
• At the screen Do you want more time to pay your self-employment tax?, click Yes.
• At the screen Let's start by getting your eligible income, I have left the dollar amount that was previously entered, others change this amount to $0.
• Click on Continue.
• At the screen Tell us how much you'd like to defer, change the dollar amount to $0.
• Click Continue.
• Scroll down and click Done with Deductions.
• Click through Federal Review to make sure than the Review issue has been removed.
• At the screen Some of your self-employment taxes may be eligible, click Skip.

After completing these steps, you would reverse the entries that eliminated: 

• Your balance due status,
• Your self-employment tax due, or
• Both.
