Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@c010903

If the software is asking you to enter or change a value on line 18 of IRS Form 1040 Schedule SE, is there or was there self-employment income in the tax return at some point?  If there is no self-employment income in the tax return, are you able to delete the form using these steps: 

  • Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
  • Then click on Tools.
  • Then in the center of the page, click on Delete a Form.
  • Choose the form to be delete and click Delete to the right of the form.

If there is self-employment income in the tax return, are you able to access the self-employment tax deferral questions at: 

  • TurboTax Desktop Home and Business at Personal / Deductions & Credits / Tax relief related to COVID-19 / Self-employment tax deferral?
  • TurboTax Online Self-employed at Federal / Deductions & Credits / Your tax breaks / Self-employed tax deferral?

In some cases, you may need to add temporary income to your self-employment activity to generate a balance due and allow you to access the self-employment tax deferral questions.
