To adjust the entry to move past the error, try saying 'Yes' to defer, then put in $0 as that amount which should return no errors during review. Even though that is not the correct value, it was the only way to override the error and to not defer a portion of my payment.
Go back into your TurboTax account:
- Go back into Deductions and Credits and deductions section
- Scroll down to Tax relief related to COVID-19
- Click edit/update for Self-employment tax deferral
- Select no to deferral. (see image below)
The self-employment tax on that portion can be postponed for payment in the following year. You can postpone that portion of your taxes due with no penalties or interest, if you qualify. If the program is saying you do not qualify, you must be getting a refund.
