@ShanonW you are fine. No need to amend or worry.

 

There are some cases when you need to use the long for Schedule SE and sometimes when you can use the short form. TT will figure that out for you so it doesn't really matter which for it uses.

 

As for the numbers on line 7 and 14, those are numbers  from the tax law. They are in an italic font style on the form from the IRS. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sse.pdf

 

If you read the descriptions to the left for the numbers you will see that line 7 is the max wage/SE income that is subject to the FICA portion of the SE tax. Line 14 is the the max income for which one can use an optional method to figure SE tax.
