@JamesG1 provided an excellent solution as follows :
Your self-employment income may be eligible for a portion of your self-employment tax to be deferred. See this TurboTax Help.
In TurboTax Online Self-Employed, I was able to enter a self-employment tax deferral and pass Review. Then 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, leave the dollar amount you previously entered.
- Click on Continue.
- At the screen Tell us how much you'd like to defer, change the dollar amount to $0.
- 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.
