Deductions & credits

@aviedel , does line 31 of your Schedule C show net profit from self-employment?  If not, you might not have entered the Form 1099-NEC correctly or your expenses exceed gross income from self-employment and you have a loss.  Examine TurboTax's Keogh, SEP and SIMPLE Contribution Worksheet to see the calculation of the deductible amount.
