It is fine to report it that way as long as you did the mock Schedule C and the self-employment taxes were the same. Generally, you would just enter the income on Schedule C (plus the 10 fields you received the errors for) and TurboTax would compute the SE tax and place them on the respective schedules.
However, you have entered the income as Other Income (Line 😎 and manually added the SE tax. Same result. As long as you don't have errors, you can file. Just keep detailed records in case of an unlikely inquiry.
The alternative (preferred) method is to report the income on Schedule C as you did in the mock return. In that case, the income would be on Line 3 of Schedule 1 instead of Line 8. And you would not have needed to do the SE adjustment. Income form Schedule automatically has the SE added to it. Line 3 (business) income automatically generates the SE tax, but Line 8 income (other) does not.
You can disregard the replies regarding the W-2 entry and reporting employee fringe benefits as she is not yet an ''employee'' listed on any company's payroll. Hope this helps and good luck to her in her new endeavor. @BarbK
