I don't know if you should be paying the SE tax, see the SE link in the article you provided. 

 

We can't get your income to line 1 but we can make it taxable income without it being a business. We can also calculate the SE tax, if needed. Follow these steps:

 

  1. go to the federal income section
  2. scroll to the bottom
  3. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
  4. Scroll to the bottom
  5. Other reportable income, start
  6. Select Other income not already reported on W2 or Form 1099, start
  7. Other wages received, select yes, continue
  8. Household, continue
  9. Sick pay, continue
  10. Medicaid, continue
  11. Any other earned income? Select yes, continue
  12. Select Employee compensation, continue
  13. Continue, Income for... select yourself, continue
  14. Report wage income, select I don't know ID number, select a code. If you have filed the SS-8, select the correct answer. If you haven't, select G.
  15.  Your choice yes or no. 

You will see your wages on line 1g along with SE tax on line 23.
