Did you have a Net Profit on Schedule C for those years?   You need a Net Profit of $400 or more to pay self employment tax.  Did you enter your income on Schedule C or just as Other Income?  What 1040 lines does your self employment  income show up on?

Thanks for taking the time to look at my concern.

To your question: It is on line 6 (Line 17 on Schedule 1  since it is income from a partnership).

Oh, I don't know partnerships very well, just Schedule C .   I assume you entered a K-1?  Someone else will have to help.   
@Critter-3 ?

Correct, I entered a K1 (1065).  Thanks much for your time!

Look at box 1 & 14 on the K-1 form… what numbers & codes are there?

I see...  Box 1 Ordinary Income has $$$

Box 14 is empty........  That is how i got it from my partnership.

hum.................

Thanks much!
