Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you have net income from self-employment, even if you delete the Sched-SE, it will reappear.    Do you want to defer your SE tax or are you just trying to remove an error?   @BHHH

 

if you don't want to defer the taxes, you can enter a 0 for the Line 18 error and if it is Line 11 showing a 0, you can delete the 0, leaving that field blank.   If you do want to defer the tax, go through the interview section and complete the deferral there.    To go through the interview and edit the amounts you can defer or want to defer:

 

  1. Click on Federal from the left menu
  2. Click on Deductions and Credits from the top menu
  3. Scroll down and click on See More Tax Breaks if you don't have the full list
  4. 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.   Enter your eligible earnings and on the next screen.  TurboTax will calculate the amount you are eligible to defer.  You can then choose to defer any amount up to that amount, including 0.
