Deductions & credits
I have this problem as well. My foreign self-employment earnings are exempt (US has social security agreement with my country of residence). My Schedule C income automatically transfers to Part II, line 1a of the Schedule SE Adjustments Worksheet. In order to show that I have no SE liability, I enter that same amount in Part II, line 7, which results in line 8 ("Total for Schedule SE, line 2) being zero. Therefore, as should be the case, no Schedule SE is generated. However, according to the IRS, I should complete Schedule 4 (Other Taxes), and on line 57, I should enter "Exempt, see attached statement". I have not been able to do this through Turbo Tax. Surely, there must be some workaround that I have missed. Help, please. I would love to get this filed electronically.
