If the program is generating Form 8959, you owe additional Medicare Tax.
That is not an option and not something you can delete from your return.
According to the IRS:
“Medicare wages and self-employment income are combined to determine if your income exceeds the threshold. A self-employment loss shouldn't be considered for purposes of this tax. Railroad retirement (RRTA) compensation should be separately compared to the threshold.
Your employer is responsible for withholding the 0.9% Additional Medicare Tax on your Medicare wages or railroad retirement (RRTA) compensation paid in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year. Your employer is required to begin withholding Additional Medicare Tax in the pay period in which your wages or compensation for the year exceed $200,000 and continue to withhold it in each pay period for the remainder of the calendar year.
More information.
The IRS and the Treasury Department have issued final regulations (T.D. 9645) on the Additional Medicare Tax. The final regulations are available at IRS.gov/irb/2013-51_IRB#TD-9465. For more information on Additional Medicare Tax, go toIRS.gov/ADMT.”
