That's a new step I haven't seen before, I always had to do it manually before, thanks! 😀
To clarify for the customer:
1. You may deduct your work-related expenses from schedule SE even if you are a common-law employee, and you don't have to make an adjustment for the Deason rule, but you have to calculate the expenses yourself, and you should keep records for at least 3 years in case of audit.
2. If you are a common-law employee, you can't deduct work-related expenses from your income subject to income tax. If you are an independent contractor pastor filing a schedule C, you must reduce your claimed business expenses on Schedule C according to the Deason rule.
