Error 1040/1040SR-Line 11 too Large

I am getting a Turbo Tax error message related to the deferral of self employed payroll taxes.

First:  I do not want to defer my 2020 payroll taxes (part or all) and told turbo tax so when prompted to do so.

Second: I can't defer my 2020 payroll taxes because I have over paid my federal taxes and am getting a refund.

Symptoms: Line 10 of the worksheet to calculate 1040/1040SR-Line 11 shows by expected refund (thousands).  Turbo tax does not like my chosen value for line 11, telling me that my chosen value of $0 is "Too Large."  Which I guess is true since "0" is larger than the negative number (my refund) shown on line 10.

 

It is my only return error....but Turbo Tax won't let me file until it is fixed.........but zero is correct.

 

Any suggestions (beyond I should not have over paid during the year)?
