Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Congratulaions!

 

It appears that the self-employment tax deferral is generated at a point when your tax return reflects:

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

I suspect that when you removed your estimated taxes, that put your tax return in a balance due status and you were then able to access the self-employment tax deferral questions.

 

I have had luck temporarily returning the tax return to:  

  • Balance due status,
  • Self-employment tax due, or
  • Both.

Then access the self-employment tax deferral questions.

 

Finally, then reverse the temporary entries that I put in the tax return.

 

Your self-employment income may be eligible for a portion of your self-employment tax to be deferred.  See this TurboTax Help.
