Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Are you referring to the entry '5,640' on Part II line 14 of the IRS Form SE?  This amount is pre-printed on the IRS form.

 

IRS Form SE Part III computes the Maximum Deferral of Self-Employment Tax Payments.  Did you intentionally or unintentionally select the Self-Employment Tax Deferral?

 

In TurboTax Online Self-Employed, I was able to remove Self-Employment Tax Deferral and pass Review.  Follow these steps. 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Federal.
  • Across the top of the screen, click on Deductions  & credits.
  • Under Your tax breaks, scroll down to Self-employment tax deferral.
  • Click on Edit/Add 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, delete the dollar amount.
  • Click Continue.
  • 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.
