Deductions & credits

First, please follow these steps in TurboTax to make sure you did not elect to defer your self-employment taxes:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click Federal on the left hand side. 
  3. Click Deductions and Credits on the top of the page.
  4. On the page Tax Breaks, scroll down until you see Tax relief related to Covid-19.
  5. Click Revisit next to Self-employment tax deferral
  6. Answer no to the question Do you want more time to pay self-employment taxes? 

If that that does clear your error, please try the following:

  • Remove the 0 and leave the entry blank 
  • Just enter 0 (with no decimal points)
