Thanks for your response. Here's a reply to that, for any other helper that picks up this issue:
There is no form in TT2020 Home & Business named exactly "Schedule-SE Worksheet". If I go to Forms, hit "Open Form", and type in Sch-SE, I get two hits:
Sch SE-T: Self-Employment Tax
Sch SE-S: Self Employment Tax
These both appear to be the same identical form, but my data entry is recorded on the Sch SE-T form and the other one has blank fields. Neither offers a way to get to a worksheet. If I use "Open Form" again and enter "Sched" instead of "Sch-SE", I see two entries of interest:
Sch SE-S: Self-Employment Tax
Schedule SE Adjustments Worksheet
The first of these is the same "Sch SE-S" form I found above, which is populated with my data, but offers no worksheet or backup sheet links. The second one has all the content that allows me to follow your instructions that reference: "part-II line 7 -- " LESS Other SE Exempt non-farm profit or (loss).... ", i.e., it has a line 7 in part-II that says, "Less other SE exempt nonfarm profit or (loss)". Entering my total income there has the effect of zeroing the SE tax field, as you indicate, but right-clicking the "+" next to that space has only the effect I mentioned previously and opens no backup sheet. I believe this *is* the right form, because it shows exactly the fields you describe in the section you specify. Perhaps this version of TT2020 (Home and Business) purchased on a DVD differs from the version you use?
